I will continue the topic of crafts for boys, which I told you earlier. Now it’s the turn of technology. Our sons really love crafting from paper, so I suggest making a craft using the origami technique, using sleight of hand, but we will also glue together interesting ideas from paper.

Paper airplanes become very popular at school, when boys begin to show a new quality in themselves - competition. As a result, various kinds of competitions begin, for example, whose craft will fly the farthest.

But the folding option, which is the most famous, does not allow the structure to fly, but only gives it a recognizable airplane shape. Therefore, below I will present several models that will delight you with their ease of soaring.

First, we will just make a cute paper applique. This option is more suitable for preschool children. It is possible that the kids will need the help of their parents, because sometimes they need your help.

We will need:

• Sheet of cardboard
• Matchbox
• Scissors

First, we measure the length of the box. And we put this value on the wrong side of the cardboard. Now we are making the wings, so we will need two strips.

Cutting off the parts.

Now we make the tail blank. From the edge of the same sheet, we mark 1.5 cm, make two parallel lines and cut them off.

We mark 8 cm from the edge of the narrow strip and divide it.

These are the blanks we got. Check the picture.

Now we bend the long narrow strip in half and glue it exactly in the middle of the box. Each edge of the strip is glued to a different side of the box.

Give the wings the desired shape.

And glue them to the bottom and top of the box, perpendicular to the body.

Let's take care of the tail. Remember how we previously noted a strip 8 centimeters long? So this is our tail. Therefore, we glue it in the right place.

From the remaining 1.5 centimeter strip we make the penultimate part. Fold it in half and bend the edges at the same distance on both sides.

Glue it to the tail. Press down the edges well so that they have time to fix.

The final turn of the propeller has arrived. On cardboard we draw two drops with a circle in the middle and glue them to the nose of the plane. By the way, we have two propellers, so cut out two blanks at once.

The craft is very simple, but it looks quite impressive and neat. It was possible to paint the boxes in the required color in advance.

And I also suggest that you assemble the craft without using glue or tape. You just need to print out the diagram and carefully cut out all the parts. Folds must be made along the dotted lines.

How do you like this 3D puzzle? I'd love to hear your opinion.

How to properly fold an airplane that flies for a long time (100 meters)

In order for your craft to fly, you need to properly strengthen the nose and remove obstacles that prevent the free flow of air. Most often, these are folds on the wings that are bent down.

I will provide instructions with the correct actions. You only need to repeat.

Now let's start folding the Swallow model. It is distinguished by its unusual body shape and open tail.

Let's start marking the fold lines, which will help us fold the paper neatly in the future.

To do this, we wrap one top edge to the opposite side

Let's do the same with the opposite end.

Now let's find the middle.

Let's wrap up part of the sheet. The mark to which you need to fold will be the middle of all the folds that we did earlier.

It will turn out like this. Iron the fold more firmly.

Let's collapse this strip again.

And we'll cut off the extra edge. We will use this piece to create the tail.

Fold this strip in half twice.

Now let's turn the sides of the strip inward towards the center. Let's step back 1 centimeter from the edge and make small cuts on both sides.

Let's straighten the tail and put the part aside for a while.

Let's return to the main workpiece again. As a result of the folds, we got triangles. We find the top - this will be the nose of the product. We push the edges inward.

In the end it will turn out like this.

Now we wrap the ends of the triangle towards the top so that the edges coincide.

This is what the part looks like from the inside.

Let's fold the edges again.

Now let's assemble the two opposite ends and bend the top.

This is the result you will expect.

We form the wings by folding the part in half along the fold line.

The free edges of the wings also need to be folded.

Now we insert the tail into the airplane.

Of all the given schemes, this one may seem the most labor-intensive, but in the process of folding it will require greater care and accuracy from the student. And the result will fly perfectly.

Origami technique for beginners: folding patterns

For older boys or their dads who can already read and reproduce the diagram, I have prepared several drawings.

If desired, you can roll up any type of product: swallow, bomber, lightning and others. Sometimes children get carried away by one particular model, however, if any airplane flies, it will add bright colors to your child’s childhood.

So, a detailed diagram of the legendary Lightning. The lines show the actions of opening the folds to the sides.

All drawings show two sides: colored and white. The colored side is the front side, the white side is the back side.

A very beautiful model called Needle.

A popular model of a passenger airliner. Can't boast of flight speed, but the idea is very interesting.

The shape of a flyer is not quite familiar to many. But it has a sharp nose and wide wings, so it can also fly for a long time.

As you may have already noted, the first three steps are repeated in almost all diagrams.

And here is the most basic way to roll up a toy, only it doesn’t fly very far, it just makes loops. He suddenly changes position and falls down.

The same model, but in a different color, may seem more understandable to you.

If you twist the tip of the workpiece, you will get a blunt nose on the unit. By the way, your actions will not affect the flight range of this model in any way.

You can take any diagram as a basis and create your own model of a flyer based on it. After all, design abilities develop already in childhood.

How to make a paper airplane that flies far and is easy to make

If you want to quickly make a toy and quickly run away to play, then there is a universal model. If you repeat the folding pattern a couple of times, then your handles will already know the correct sequence of actions and the folding speed will increase significantly.

And when the guys see how far your design has flown, they will definitely come and learn how to do the same.
Such a plane also flies great on the street, when it is caught by the breeze and there are no physical barriers, such as tables and walls.

As always, we will use a standard sheet of A4 size.

Do not take thick paper; it is very difficult to fold it in several layers. Because of this, the craft may not work out.

When manufacturing almost any part, we initially look for the middle of the sheet. To do this, we fold it in half lengthwise so that the edges and corners match.

Use your fingernail to mark the fold line.

Turn the sheet wrong side out and tuck the edges in toward the middle. They should be the same size.

Now let’s turn each side towards the middle, capturing the previously formed triangle.

We turn the end to the opposite edge, aligning the tip with the fold line.

The result is a trapezoid. We wrap the ends of its upper base inward.

Now we bend the previously bent end up.

Fold the piece in half and smooth it well.

We bend it inward and push it inward between the wings with our finger.

This is what it looks like if you look from the side.

This is what the tail will look like from above.

We bend the wings, maintaining parallelism.

The ends of each edge also need to be folded.

This model performed well in street conditions.

Step-by-step folding instructions for children

I started considering options for folding crafts with the most complex ones. And, if you have mastered them, then you will master this structure without difficulty. When you practice origami, it is important to explain to your child that all lines must be straight. It’s good to iron the folds with your finger or nail.

We only need one sheet of double-sided paper. You can, of course, use any paper, even newspaper, but we not only train motor skills and logic, but also develop the child’s aesthetic perception.

Fold the sheet in half and press the fold line well.

Now let’s unfold the sheet and fold the corners on both sides to the found center line.

Now we will bend the resulting corner, not reaching a couple of centimeters to the edge.

We wrap the resulting corners again to the fold line so that we get right triangles on both sides.

Let's turn the tongue up. This will fix the edges of the triangles.

Now we fold the workpiece in half along the found center line.

And we bend the edges of the product so that the wing line is flush with the body line.

This is what the assembled craft looks like from below.

It happened very quickly, right?

Volume airplane made of paper and plastic bottle

This is the product you will be pleased with as a result.

We make a chassis from two lids and juice straws.

Cover the bottle with newspaper. We also cut out wings and a tail from cardboard and also glue it on.

Don't forget the propeller.

It is better to paint over the newspaper with thick gouache or acrylic paints. They have a fairly dense base and are easily diluted with water.

Cut out decor from colored paper: portholes, symbols, stars, numbers. That's all - a gift for dad - the pilot will be ready.

Everyone made airplanes in childhood; this procedure has long become a tradition. This simple game allows children to develop their imagination and develop their fingers. Making a well-flying paper airplane with your own hands is not difficult, just follow the step-by-step rules and highlight the fold lines well.

Materials for creating an airplane that will fly far

In order to get an airplane, you will need a rectangular sheet of paper; its color can be absolutely any depending on individual preferences. The paper material can also be any: photocopier, landscape, newspaper, etc.

The main thing is that the paper density is not excessively high. So, it will not be possible to make a plane that flies well from whatman paper, since it will be heavy, difficult to fold, and the bends are difficult and uneven to fix.

Classic airplane model

To prevent your child from getting confused, it is worth starting to teach him how to assemble airplanes from the easiest ones. The first airplane should be made by an adult, and since children love to assemble origami, they will be happy to help. The assembly of the next airplane can be left to the child to consolidate the result.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Place the paper sheet in front of you so that the smaller cut is closer.
2. Fold the sheet exactly along the line in the center and make a mark there. A bend will appear. It cannot be smoothed out.
3. Open the piece of paper, fold it so that the edge is adjacent to the center.
4. Repeat the procedure with the second corner.
5. Re-open the sheet. Now the corners should be folded so that they do not touch the center.
6. The next step is to fold the smaller corner, the task of which is to hold all the previously folded corners.
7. At the final stage, the resulting craft is bent along the center line, the triangular part should be on the outside, and the sides should be bent towards the center.

1. Fold the cut 4 times, press the corner with your finger.
2. Bend one of the cut halves to a line in the center, press the corner on the quarter.
3. Fold the sheet inward from the fold to the corner at the top by a quarter. You should get a small triangle. You should press the edge with your finger.
4. To make sure that the folds are evenly folded, the triangle must be straightened, lifted and inserted with your finger between the parts.
5. Now the product should be turned over. Fold the other side of the triangle inward. Fold the wide end of the paper in the opposite direction.
6. Repeat the procedure with the second side of the craft.
7. A “pocket” should form. Raise it, make a bend so that the edge is located exactly along the length of the sheet. Corner “place in pocket”. Turn the top corner down.
8. Repeat the previous process on the second side of the plane, as both sides should have the same appearance.
9. Bend the part that showed the “pocket” assembly up. The same procedure should be performed on the other side.
10. Open the product and place the front edge inside. At the same time, prominent segments will appear in front - they need to be bent. Then you should remove the rear parts that resemble fins.
11. Turn the craft over and bend the front part. Iron the folds.
12. Next part: fuselage. One side of the plane is folded down along a line running parallel to the fold in the center. The same procedure should be repeated on the other side.
13. Bend a small piece of both wings upward. Unbend the product. You should get a base and wings.
14. Running your finger along the front of the wings creates a curve. The plane is ready for launch.

Glider: a plane that can fly very far

The model looks original and flies very quickly, the child will be interested in doing such work, and his friends will admire it.

1. Fold the paper piece in half.
2. Open to original position. Fold up. Bend the corners of the paper inward - a mark will form in the middle. This step will help make the triangles even, which will help with fast flight.
3. Visually draw a line in the center and make a fold in this place. The craft should have a sharp nose.
4. Fold the nose so that it protrudes a few millimeters beyond the edges of the bends.
5. Fold the plane in the center, the back side should be inside.
6. Bend the wings back. Whether they are small or large is at individual discretion.

For an airplane, in addition to paper, you will need a stationery knife, a pencil and a needle with a bead.

1. Taking a sheet of paper, fold it diagonally.
2. Open the sheet. Fold the piece of paper along the line, which will be divided by diagonals, into 2 parts. Open the sheet again, raising the corners along the lines formed.
3. Turn the left edge of the corner to the right, bend it. Returning it to its original position, bend it upward.
4. Make a bend from the left edge again - the bottom should be located on the fold line of the triangle formed during the previous step. Bend the edge of the corner behind the revealed detail.
5. Unbend the right side and then fold it towards the center.
6. Make another fold towards the center, tuck the top of the corner inward.
7. Bend the right side and then straighten it again to make a mark. Turn the left corner over and tuck the bottom edge into the right piece.
8. Bend the resulting part in the center, spread the wings.
9. All that remains is to manufacture the propeller. You need a sheet of paper 6x6 wide. Draw it out with a pencil on the diagonal. Create cuts along the resulting lines, not finishing them by about 7mm.
10. The propeller is folded through the corner and then secured with a needle and bead.
11. Secure the part to the “tail”. The craft is ready.

Children, regardless of their gender, love to make paper crafts, and especially airplanes. And parents should definitely help them in this matter. After all, paper crafts are practically safe, do not burden the budget and help the child develop thinking.

Airplanes made using the origami technique are very popular all over the world. There are over 100 designs of such airplanes. Every year there are competitions for the flight range of paper airplanes and the amount of time this craft spends in the air.

It is known that the first modern paper model was made in 1930. It was manufactured for performance testing in the Lockheed Corporation wind tunnel. After which paper airplanes began to be produced as independent models.

How to make a paper airplane that flies for a long time?

At the moment, the maximum time a paper airplane can stay in the air is 27.6 seconds. This record was set by Ken Blackburn, an American paper airplane enthusiast, back in 1983. He built such a long-flying aircraft using this design:

1-2. We bend the edges of a standard A4 sheet as shown in the figure. Then bend a 1 cm strip at the bottom of the sheet

3-10. We continue to fold the strips moving towards the second third of the sheet

11-12. Now fold the sheet in the middle to form wings

13-14. You should get a paper airplane like this. Don't forget to unscrew the “flaps” at the ends of the wings. They are one of the “secrets” of the long flight of this paper airplane model.

Try making a paper airplane using this design and maybe you will be able to break Blackburn's record.

How to make a paper airplane that flies far?

If your goal is to make a paper airplane with a long flight range, then this diagram may be useful for you:

1. Take a standard A4 sheet of thick paper. We begin to fold the airplane by bending it along the central longitudinal line.

2. Now bend the edges diagonally. The fold line of the wings should be as marked in the diagram with a dotted line. It is due to this angle that this aircraft is able to fly further than other models.

3. We use the longitudinal line again and fold the airplane in half. The edges must be folded as indicated in the diagram.

4. You should get an airplane like this. Start testing it.

This model can be improved by changing the balance. To do this, roll up a small ball of plasticine and place it closer to the nose of the plane. When testing it, find the optimal location for such a balance.

There is another origami design that will allow you to build a long-flying airplane. You can try thin cardboard as its base.

1. We use the landscape layout of the sheet and fold it in half

2. Fold the wings like a classic paper airplane design

3-4. Bend the triangle of the nose along the dotted line as in the figure

5. Folding the two halves of the airplane

6-8. We bend the wings taking into account the angle indicated in the figure.

9-10. We form the flaps and prepare the aircraft for testing

How to make and fold a simple airplane from a sheet of paper: step-by-step instructions, diagram

The simple, classic design of the aircraft is also very popular today. Probably everyone can fold such an airplane with their own hands. But, if you can’t do it, here’s an excellent diagram for learning how to fold such airplanes.

1. Take a sheet of A4 and A3 paper and fold its left and right edges towards the middle

2. We turn the left and right corners to the center line and fold the two halves of the plane

3. Unscrew the wings as shown in the picture

The simplest plane is ready.

Origami paper airplane

Origami is a Japanese technique of folding paper figures. Do not use scissors or glue. Just a piece of paper and your hands. The history of origami goes back many centuries. The appearance of this technique is associated with Buddhist monks, who, in order to reflect on the meaning of life, locked themselves in their cells and folded paper figures. In principle, all of the above airplane folding schemes can be called origami. Below is a modern diagram of a paper fighter.

1. Take a standard A4 sheet and fold it in half
2. We bend the upper corners to the middle and straighten them as shown in the figure.
3. To make it easier to work with such an airplane, further fix the straightened corners
4. We bend the obtuse corners of the resulting rhombuses back
5. We also turn the side corners back. You should get a regular triangle
6. We turn off the wings of the workpiece. They need to be bent and inserted perpendicularly

The finished paper fighter plane flies very well and will bring a lot of fun to your children.

What paper and materials may be needed?

The popularity of paper airplanes lies in the fact that to make them you need absolutely nothing but paper. Notebook sheets, printer paper, newspapers, thin cardboard, etc. are suitable. As for paper stiffness, experiment and find one that suits your specific model.

And if you want your folded paper airplane model to look beautiful, color it with markers, pencils or paint. When giving an exclusive design to your aircraft, look at photographs of such equipment on the Internet. After all, if you make it as similar as possible to real airplanes, it will bring even more joy to you and your children.

Speaking of children, when making such paper crafts, a child improves fine motor skills, develops fingers, uses his imagination and learns to think logically.

What to pay attention to when modeling?

Almost all paper airplane designs can be divided into two groups: long-flying and long-flying. In order to make an airplane that will fly as far as possible, use a long and narrow paper structure. Such airplanes usually have a rigid structure and a center of gravity shifted closer to the nose.

For airplanes that stay in the air longer, the main design feature is a large wingspan. At the same time, long-flying airplanes should not have a rigid structure. What is more important is its overall balance.

Additionally, symmetry is important when making paper airplanes. If one wing of such a paper structure is larger than the other, then such an airplane will fall onto it and will not fly even a few meters. Remember that not only the wings, but also the tail of the aircraft must be symmetrical.

And another important point is balance. The designs of real paper airplanes do not use additional elements. But, if you are making an airplane for yourself, and not for a competition in terms of flight duration or range, you can use plasticine or additional paper or cardboard inserts to create a more optimal design for the design.

Paper airplanes - DIY crafts: diagrams

CONCORD

The infamous but very beautiful supersonic airliner Concorde can be made according to this scheme:

STUNTER

Here is another pattern for making a paper airplane. Unlike the previous models described in this article, this plane flies along a rather original trajectory.

FAST PLANE

1-3. Fold the sheet of paper in half along the transverse line. Then unfold and fold along the transverse line. Fold the sheet along the dotted lines.

4-6. Unfold the sides. We bend each flap inward. We do this first for the internal corners, and then for the external ones. Then we form the wings.

7-9. We turn the wings at some distance from the bottom. The fold line must be carefully ironed. Then you need to unscrew the wings.

The end result should be a plane like this.

GOLDEN STING

1-2. Bend the sheet of paper in half and return it to its original position. We turn the upper right corner of the paper towards the middle of the bottom side. There is no need to iron the fold line.

3-4. We bend the sheet at the intersection of the fold lines. After which we immediately return the sheet to its original position. We bend the upper corners of the paper along the line of the resulting bend.

5-7. We bend the upper edge along the already marked bend. Bend the corners from the center to the bottom corners. Fold half of each folded corner.

8-10. Now we bend the corners along the line marked in the figure with pre-folded corners. We iron the fold lines and bend the tip to the point where the airplane wings join.

11-12. We fold the wings back and connect the fracture sites. They are indicated in the figure with red dots.

SKAT

1-2. Fold the paper sheet in half along the longitudinal line. Unbend the sheet and connect the right sheet to the left edge along the dotted line.

3-4. We bend the sheet and repeat the above action with the opposite corner. Then we bend the small corners and the top of the sheet.

5-7. Along the line that we have already formed, we bend the right corner. Bend its corner along a vertical line (see picture). We bend the bottom corner.

8-10. We repeat the above steps for the opposite part of the sheet. We bend the nose and bend the airplane in half. When forming the wings, you need to carefully iron the fold line.

SWORD-BEARER

1-2. We form a longitudinal bend line as we did with the model described above. Fold the corners of the sheet along the dotted lines.

3-4. Now you need to turn over the sheet of paper and bend the top edges to the center line.

5-7. We fold the sheet of paper towards itself and bend the top as shown in the figure.

8-10. We begin to form the wings. We first bend one wing along the dotted line, and then the second. We iron the fold lines of the wings very carefully.

11-12. Squeeze out the paper tail between the wings. Give the paper airplane a finished look based on the drawing of the finished model.

Since childhood, we all know how to quickly make a paper airplane, and have done it more than once. This origami method is simple and easy to remember. After a couple of times you can do it with your eyes closed.

The simplest and most famous paper airplane diagram

This plane is made from a square sheet of paper, which is folded in half, then the top edges are folded towards the center. The resulting triangle is bent and the edges are folded back towards the center. Then the sheet is folded in half and wings are formed.

That's all, actually. But there is one small drawback to such an aircraft - it hardly floats and falls in a couple of seconds.

Experience of generations

The question arises - which flies for a long time. This is not difficult, since several generations have improved the well-known scheme, and have significantly succeeded in this. Modern ones vary greatly in appearance and quality characteristics.

Below are different ways to make a paper airplane. Simple diagrams will not confuse you, but, on the contrary, will inspire you to continue experimenting. Although they may require more time from you than the type mentioned above.

Super paper plane

Method number one. It is not very different from the one described above, but in this version the aerodynamic qualities are slightly improved, which lengthens the flight time:

1. Fold a sheet of paper in half lengthwise.
2. Fold the corners towards the middle.
3. Turn the sheet over and fold it in half.
4. Fold the triangle to the top.
5. Switch sides of the sheet again.
6. Fold the two right corners towards the center.
7. Do the same with the other side.
8. Bend the resulting plane in half.
9. Raise your tail and straighten your wings.

This is how you can make paper airplanes that fly for a very long time. Besides this obvious advantage, the model looks very impressive. So play for your health.

Let's make the Zilke plane together

Now comes method number two. It involves the production of the “Sielke” aircraft. Prepare a sheet of paper and learn how to make a paper airplane that flies for a long time by following these simple tips:

1. Fold it in half lengthwise.
2. Mark the middle of the sheet. Fold the top part in half.
3. Bend the edges of the resulting rectangle towards the middle so that a couple of centimeters remain to the middle on each side.
4. Turn over the sheet of paper.
5. Form a small triangle at the top center. Bend the entire structure lengthwise.
6. Open the top by folding the paper in two directions.
7. Fold the edges over to create wings.

The Zilke aircraft is completed and ready for use. This was another simple way to quickly make a paper airplane that flies for a long time.

Let's make a "Duck" plane together

Now let's look at the diagram of the "Duck" aircraft:

1. Fold a sheet of A4 paper in half lengthwise.
2. Fold the top ends towards the middle.
3. Turn the sheet over to the reverse side. Fold the side parts again towards the middle, and in the upper part you should get a rhombus.
4. Bend the upper half of the diamond forward, as if folding it in half.
5. Fold the resulting triangle into an accordion shape and bend the bottom tip up.
6. Now bend the resulting structure in half.
7. At the final stage, form the wings.

Now you can make ones that fly for a long time! The scheme is quite simple and understandable.

Let's make a Delta plane together

It's time to make a Delta plane out of paper:

1. Fold a sheet of A4 size paper in half lengthwise. Mark the middle.
2. Turn the sheet horizontally.
3. On one side, draw two parallel lines to the middle, at the same distance.
4. On the other side, fold the paper in half to the middle mark.
5. Bend the lower right corner to the uppermost drawn line so that a couple of centimeters remain untouched at the bottom.
6. Fold the top half.
7. Bend the resulting triangle in half.
8. Fold the structure in half and bend the wings along the marked lines.

As you can see, paper airplanes that fly for a very long time can be made in different ways. But that is not all. Because several more types of crafts that float in the air for a long time await you.

How to make a "Shuttle"

Using the following method it is quite possible to make a small model of the Shuttle:

1. You will need a square piece of paper.
2. Fold it diagonally in one direction, unfold it and bend it the other way. Leave in this position.
3. Fold the left and right edges towards the center. It turned out to be a small square.
4. Now fold this square diagonally.
5. Bend the front and back leaves of the resulting triangle.
6. Then tuck them under the center triangles so that a small shape is left peeking out from below.
7. Fold the top triangle and tuck it into the middle so that a small peak peeks out.
8. Finishing touches: straighten the lower wings and tuck the nose.

Here's how to make a paper airplane that flies for a long time, easily and simply. Enjoy the long flight of your Shuttle.

We make the Gomez plane according to the diagram

1. Fold the sheet in half lengthwise.
2. Now fold the top right corner to the left edge of the paper. Unbend.
3. Do the same on the other side.
4. Next, fold the top part so that a triangle is formed. The lower part remains unchanged.
5. Bend the lower right corner towards the top.
6. Fold the left corner inward. You should get a small triangle.
7. Fold the structure in half and form wings.

Now you know that he can fly far.

What are paper airplanes for?

These simple airplane plans will allow you to enjoy the game, and even organize competitions between different models, finding out who has the lead in flight duration and range.

Boys (and maybe their dads) will especially enjoy this activity, so teach them how to create winged cars out of paper, and they will be pleased. Such activities develop children's dexterity, accuracy, perseverance, concentration and spatial thinking, and contribute to the development of imagination. And the prize will be those made that fly for a very long time.

Fly airplanes in open space in calm weather. You can also take part in a competition of such crafts, but in this case you need to know that some of the models presented above are prohibited in such events.

There are many other methods that fly for a very long time. The above are just some of the most effective things you can do. However, don’t limit yourself to just them, try others. And perhaps, over time, you will be able to improve some of the models or come up with a new, more advanced system for their manufacture.

By the way, some paper airplane models are capable of making aerial figures and various tricks. Depending on the type of structure, you will need to launch it strongly and sharply or smoothly.

In any case, all of the above airplanes will fly for a long time and will give you a lot of pleasure and pleasant impressions, especially if you made them yourself.
