Paper airplanes are a simple and fun leisure activity that not only relaxes people but also stimulates creativity. This article will introduce several common paper airplane folding methods and how to fold paper airplanes with better performance.
1. Several common paper airplane folding methods
Basic aircraft. This is the most basic paper airplane folding method, which is suitable for beginners. Start by folding a sheet of paper in half and then unfold it, leaving a crease in the middle of the paper. The paper wings on both sides are then folded inward along the creases to form the basic shape of the aircraft. Finally, the head of the aircraft is folded down for added stability.
Fighter plane. Fighter paper airplanes are a bit more complicated, but very interesting. First, fold the paper in half, then unfold it, and fold the paper wings on both sides upwards according to the creases to form the wings. The head of the aircraft is then folded down, and the tail is folded up for added stability. Finally, the wings were folded in half to form the special shape of the fighter.
Rotary machine. A spinner is a very interesting paper airplane that is capable of generating lift by rotating. The paper is first folded in half, then unfolded, and the paper wings on both sides are folded upwards along the creases to form the wings. Then fold the head of the aircraft down, and then the tail up for added stability. Finally, a light ring or weight is fixed at the center point of the aircraft to make the aircraft rotate in the air.
2. How to fold paper airplanes with better performance
Once you know the basics of folding, you can learn how to fold paper airplanes with better performance. Here are some suggestions:
Choose the right paper: Try to choose thin, tough paper, such as copy paper, magazine paper, etc. Such paper is better able to withstand wind and air resistance during flight.
Adjust the wing angle: The angle of the wing is one of the key factors that affect the performance of paper airplanes. If the wings are too straight, it will be difficult for the paper airplane to fly far; If the wings are tilted up at too large an angle, the paper airplane will be prone to tumbling. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the angle of the wing appropriately according to the material of the paper and the weight of the aircraft.
Pay attention to stability: The stability of a paper airplane depends mainly on the weight of the head and the balance of the tail. Weighting on the head can increase stability, but an excessively heavy head can make it difficult for the aircraft to fly. Therefore, a balance needs to be found between stability and flight performance. In addition, the design of the tail section is also important to ensure that the tail section can provide sufficient balance for the aircraft.
Experimentation and improvement: Different papers, different folding, different angles and weights can all affect the performance of paper airplanes. Therefore, it is necessary to experiment and improve, constantly try different folding methods and adjust angles, and find the most suitable folding method and flying technique for yourself.
Learn flying skills: In addition to folding, flying skills are also one of the important factors that affect the performance of paper airplanes. For example, how to throw an airplane, how to adjust the angle and force of the throw, etc. By learning and mastering these techniques, you can make the flight of paper airplanes more stable, long-lasting, and accurate.
3. Summary
This article describes three common paper airplane folding methods and how to fold paper airplanes with better performance. Through continuous experimentation and improvement, we can discover more interesting, stable, and far-flying paper airplane folds. At the same time, origami airplanes can also be a fun leisure activity for us to relax and enjoy the joy of creating.
