How to Improve Paper Aircraft Design


3 Sections: Folding Airplanes Increasing Air StabilityMatching Throws

Turning used paper into an airplane is fun. However, your work can crash or fall before flying smoothly. Understanding the basic knowledge of how to make a paper plane does not guarantee the aircraft will fly smoothly. By understanding the gravity and lift of the plane, you can make the aircraft smoothly. Fix your aircraft by balancing, raising, and bending the wings so that the plane does not fly sideways and deviate.

Re-folding the Aircraft
 Improve the Design of any Paper Airplane Step 1
1
Make sure both wings are symmetrical. Airplane wings are often folded unbalanced so the length is not the same. Unfold your plane and repeat again. If there are additional folds on one side, add also on the other side. Thus, the way the wind plays the same plane on either side. [1]
You can also cut out the unbalanced and excessive parts. However, this method makes your plane can not be re-customized.

Short the airplane wings. The wing aspect ratio affects aircraft flying power. Long and wide wings are great for making airplanes flying, but you have to throw them gently. Short and wide wings are usually nicer because you can throw a plane faster and set the direction up. Repeat your airplane fold if needed. [2]

3
Set the second angle of the wings. Standard aircraft requires wings pointing upwards. If your wing is flat or pointing down, repeat the fold. Upward wing angles are called "dihedral" and add lift aircraft. Adjust the position of the wing so that the tip is above the entire fuselage. [3]

Add fins to add to the complexity of the design. Fold small fins on both wings of the plane. Thus, the paper will double. Hold the edge of the wing and fold down and back up. This is an airplane fins that folds parallel to the length of the fuselage. This fins will stabilize and strengthen your paper plane. [4]
Fins are useful in more complex aircraft designs. However, the fin should not be added to a standard needle plane as it will slow down its flight rate.

Improving Aircraft Stability
 Improve the Design of any Paper Airplane Step 5
1
Bend the rear end up for a plane that often glide. Stable paper aircraft capable of flying farther and faster. Paper airplanes usually perform better when added so-called elevators. Grasp the rear end of your plane, which is the wingtips on the standard needle plane, and bend slightly upward with your fingers. [5]
Elevators will balance the weight of the aircraft nose.

2
Reduce the weight of the nose on a glider. This helps to balance the plane so it does not tend to float straight up. Rotate the airplane nose with one or two layers of masking tape, or attach a paper clip. Test your airplane and adjust it as needed. [6]
Heavy aircraft can fly better outdoors.

3
Bend the rear end of the plane down on the glider. This is done on planes that tend to fly up when thrown. Bend the rear end of the plane with fingers. Try throwing back your plane. If still not balanced enough, try adding weight in the nose of the plane.

4
Bend left for the right-leaning plane. If the tail of the plane has two sides, bend the left side up and the right side down. When air through the bend, the plane's direction will change. [7]

5
Bend to the right for the leaning plane to the left. Otherwise, drag the right side up, and the left side down. This bending will improve airflow so that the aircraft drift more stable.

Customize the Throw
 Improve the Design of any Paper Airplane Step 10
1
Hold the base of the aircraft. On most paper planes, here's the main fold of the plane. Since you've set the balance of the plane, hold it in the center with your fingers. In this position, the plane obtains its stability.

2
Throw a long, thin winged plane gently. Thin planes can fly better. Strong throws will damage the aircraft and disrupt the flight direction. Bring your wrist forward in a push motion. Keep the plane aligned with the floor. [8]

3
Throw a short and outward plane. Short-winged planes will fly better if thrown strongly. Point the plane up. Use the same push movement, but give more power. If you make a needle plane, this movement will stabilize the aircraft when it goes down. [9]
Non-aircraft should be thrown up gently using a push motion.
Tips
Test your airplane regularly to find out what adjustments are needed
The tail will slow the standard needle plane. To make it takes extra effort and will hamper airflow.
The thin paper will make the aircraft fly better, but can not withstand strong throws.
If you want to fly further, attach a paper clip to the front of the fuselage.
WARNING
Do not throw a plane toward people or pets. Your plane can hit their eyes.
