How to Make a Dart Plane

The dart plane is a classic paper airplane design. It is stable, quick and easy to build. Thrown from a good height, it can go quite a distance before reaching the ground. It also does well with added fins and flaps, allowing you to tweak the flight characteristics to make it do loops and rolls like a stunt plane.

Instructions

    • 1

      Fold a piece of paper in half lengthwise. open it again.

    • 2

      Fold one corner of the paper into the crease to make a triangle.

    • 3

      Repeat with the opposite corner. You now should have a plane shaped like a triangle on top of a rectangle.

    • 4

      Bend in one side into the crease over the triangle you have already made. This will form a more acute triangle that goes most of the way to the back of the plane.

    • 5

      Repeat Step 4 on the other side of the plane. You should have all the folds sandwiched inside the first bend you made.

    • 6

      Hold the plane in the middle and bend the wings down. You should get two bends that are parallel to the bottom of the paper.

    • 7

      Throw the plane from the middle.
