nwsailing.com Introduction: Creating a Simple Paper Airplane The Aeronautica Boat This guide will walk you through building a surprisingly effective paper airplane known as the Aeronautica Boat. This design is easy to fold, relatively stable, and, with a good launch, can achieve impressive distances. No glue, tape, or scissors needed! Just a standard sheet of paper.
Materials: One standard 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of paper
Step 1: Begin with a Rectangular Sheet Place your sheet of paper on a flat surface in a portrait orientation (the longer sides are vertical).
Step 2: The Initial Fold (Center Crease) Fold the paper in half lengthwise, bringing the top edge down to meet the bottom edge. Crease sharply along the fold. Then, unfold the paper. This creates a vertical crease down the center.
Step 3: Folding the Top Edges to the Center Line Fold the top right corner down towards the center crease, aligning the edge of the paper with the center crease. Crease sharply. Repeat this process with the top left corner. You should now have a shape resembling a house with a pointed roof.
Step 4: Folding the Top Edges to the Center Line (Again) Repeat the previous step. Fold the top right edge down towards the center crease again, aligning the newly formed edge with the center crease. Crease sharply. Do the same with the top left edge. This narrows the "roof" of the house shape.
Step 5: Folding the Plane in Half Fold the entire airplane in half along the original center crease. The folded edges from the previous steps should be on the outside.
Step 6: Forming the Wings (Right Side) Fold one of the top edges down to create a wing. Align the top edge with the bottom edge of the airplane. The width of the wing determines the flight characteristics; a wider wing provides more lift but may reduce speed. Crease sharply.
Step 7: Forming the Wings (Left Side) Flip the airplane over and repeat the previous step to form the second wing. Ensure the wings are symmetrical for balanced flight. Again, align the top edge with the bottom edge of the airplane and crease sharply.
Step 8: Final Adjustments Slightly bend the trailing edges (the back edges) of the wings upward. This is called adding "elevons" and helps with lift and stability. Experiment with the angle of the elevons to fine-tune the plane's flight.
Conclusion: Launching and Fine-Tuning Your Aeronautica Boat paper airplane is now complete! To launch, hold the plane underneath, near the center of gravity (usually about a third of the way back from the nose), and throw it forward with a firm, level motion. If the plane dives, reduce the angle of the elevons. If it stalls, increase the angle slightly or throw it with more force. Experiment with different throwing techniques and elevon adjustments to achieve optimal flight. Enjoy!
