It’s easy to make the perfect paper airplane that flies loop de loops. All you need is a piece of paper and you’re all set!
Step 1. Start with a plain piece of paper. You can use any size you’d like. In this example, we took a regular notebook-sized piece and cut the bottom 1/3 off.Step 2. Open the folded paper. Fold the top two corners towards the middle until they meet with the crease.Step 3. Fold the point straight down to the bottom edge of the paper.Step 4. Flip the paper over and repeat step 2.Step 5. Turn the paper over again. You will see a perfect triangle formed at the top. Fold the bottom half of the diamond up to form a triangle at the top.Step 6. Fold the airplane in half keeping your newly formed triangle on the outside of the fold.Step 7. Fold each wing down to form the plane.
