How to Make a Fast Paper Plane

The farthest flight by a paper aircraft is 69.14 meters (226 feet 10 inches), achieved by Joe Ayoob and aircraft designer John M. Collins (both USA), at McClellan Air Force Base, in North Highlands, California, USA on 26 February 2012. The plane was constructed from a single sheet of uncut A4 paper.

Very Slow One Minute Paper Airplane

1. Step 1: Getting Started. You will need a bunch of things:
2. Step 2: Fold. fold the sheet in half.
3. Step 3: Fold. unfold.
4. Step 4: Fold. fold to flaps at nintey degres.
5. Step 5: Flip. flip it over.
6. Step 6: Pull. pull back and fold.
7. Step 7: Fold.
8. Step 8: Pull.

1. Step 1: Fold in Half. Fold the piece of paper in half and then unfold it so you have a crease in the middle.
2. Step 2: Fold the Start.
3. Step 3: Fold Down.
4. Step 4: Fold Again.
5. Step 5: Fold Inside Last Time.
6. Step 6: Fold in Half.
7. Step 7: Make Wings.
8. Step 8: You’re Done!

How to Make the Perfect Paper Airplane

1. Start by folding the paper in half the long way.
2. Fold a corner into the middle of the paper.
3. Repeat Step #2 on the other side.
4. Fold the folded edge in again to the center crease.
5. Repeat on the other side.
6. Pick up the plane and fold it in half along the center crease.

We recommend to use 80 to 100 GSM. Paper weight is measured by GSM (Grams per Square Meter) meaning if you take a square sheet of paper, with a length and width of one meter, this is its weight. Normal printing paper is 80-90 GSM, so a single sheet (from both formats of paper size) weights around 5 grams.
