Manufacturing rules<\/h2>\n

Paper planes are divided into long flying and far flying. Flying structures are long and narrow. They are made of stiff paper<\/strong>, and their center of gravity is shifted closer to the nose. Long-flying ones have large wings.<\/p>\n

In order for a plane to fly, certain rules must be followed:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Choose an aircraft design so that the bulk of the weight falls on its nose. You can make your nose heavier with a paper clip, duct tape, or staple.<\/li>\n
  2. The wings must be the same. If they are different, the plane will collapse to one side.<\/li>\n
  3. The tail should also be symmetrical to the wings.<\/li>\n
  4. It is better not to use additional elements (plasticine, cardboard).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    DIY paper plane<\/h2>\n

    The simple design of a paper airplane is very popular. To make it, you need a rectangular sheet of A4 or A3 paper<\/strong>. It can be white or colored. Its density should be medium so that it can be easily folded without tearing.<\/p>\n

    How to fold a paper airplane:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Place a sheet of paper on a flat surface. Fold it in half and then unfold it. The fold line will serve as a guide.<\/li>\n
    2. Fold the left and right edges of the sheet towards the middle.<\/li>\n
    3. Roll the corners (left and right) to the center line, and then bend the two halves of the airplane.<\/li>\n
    4. Unscrew the resulting wings. The structure is ready to fly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      In origami technique<\/h3>\n

      Origami is a Japanese technique that allows you to fold various shapes out of paper. This process does not use scissors or glue<\/strong>. The first to invent this technique were monks.<\/p>\n

      How to make a do-it-yourself fighter out of paper using this technique:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Take a piece of paper of the correct size and shape. Fold it in half.<\/li>\n
      2. Fold the top corners towards the middle, and then straighten and secure.<\/li>\n
      3. Bend the corners back for the diamonds.<\/li>\n
      4. Fold the side corners there (back). You should get a triangle with the same sides.<\/li>\n
      5. Unscrew the wings of the product, bend them and insert perpendicularly.<\/li>\n
      6. The winged machine is ready!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
