Since my ruler is showing you how to fold the paper, it can't hold the paper flat. Any deviation with this fold will mean a lopsided airplane. (Ignore the above image's apparent lack of precision - when you fold the paper, the edges of the paper must line up EXACTLY. Now you should see what I mean by "valley fold", as there was a dotted line there before. Now, my ruler gets to play a part in this, as its position has not changed in this image: Do it precisely, as with all folds.Ĭrease it nicely, because as you're probably guessing this is the "main" fold for the airplane and is also the line of symmetry. We need to make a long fold in the paper. By the way, unless I say so (and I will a couple of times), my ruler is only in the images to hold paper down to be photographed.
The complete set of folds we'll end up with. The guns are rather more hard to make than the tail. It also has an unusual tail that you may not have seen before it adds a great deal of stability to the plane (believe it or not it flies well if you make it well). Notice how it has two cool guns, hence my name "fighter jet" for it. That's what you're making should turn out to be. A dotted line means a valley fold, while a solid line means a "mountain" fold. The visuals I provide along the way are probably self-explanatory but I'll narrate them as I go along because it can be a tricky process. There's only one point where faint lines are somewhat necessary (making the fuselage), and only one other point where a small tick mark may be useful (making the wing edges). Also, don't label your plane as you go along. Remember to crease all folds sharply, using your fingernails or a sharp edge (the ruler I use in the following photos was useful). (The sweat from your hands can curl the paper in unwanted ways.) Additionally, it is extremely important that you make extremely accurate folds, down to and beyond millimeter precision. (Normal printer paper works excellent and is what I've used here.) It is important that is it flat and uncrumpled, and that you do not introduce unnecessary warping during this process. Start with an 8.5" by 11" piece of unlined paper with no holes in it. This page merely gives better instructions that will help you make the airplane. Congratulations to that site's designer, as he's devised a really nifty airplane. Plus, I've standardized the instructions somewhat so there is no variability left in the design. However, the instructions at that site are quite hard to follow.
It comes from another paper airplane page. The design of the fighter jet paper airplane on this page is not mine.
