It’s time to fold and fly!

Packed with more than 30 projects,Paper Aeroplanes with a Helping of Sciencehas models for everyone. Know the basics but want to challenge yourself? Got it. Been folding for a while and want to try something fresh? Got that, too. And if you’ve never folded a paper aeroplane before? Follow the book from start to finish to make the journey from your first day of flight school to your first solo flight.

A few things before diving in: • Check the lightbulb boxes tucked alongside the project instructions for bite-size explanations of flight-science concepts related to your models.

• Check the photo boxes for tips on how to best launch your finished planes.

• Remember, there are four main forces that aeroplanes need to fly successfully: lift, weight, thrust and drag. But the paper aeroplanes in this book need one more thing: YOU!

MATERIALS Every paper aeroplane builder needs a well-stocked toolbox. The models in this book use the materials listed below. Take a minute before you begin folding to gather what you need:

Paper

Scissors

Paper clips

Sticky tape

Rubber bands

Small binder clips

Any paper you can fold will work. Notebook paper is always popular. But paper with cool colours and designs gives your planes style.

Keep a pair of scissors handy. Some models need a snip here or there to fly well. Paper clips are perfect for adding weight to a plane’s nose. Keep a supply of small and large paper clips on hand.

Most paper aeroplanes don’t need tape. But when they do, you’ll be glad you have it ready to go.

Rubber bands can send some aeroplane models sailing. Long, thin rubber bands work well.

Small binder clips also give weight to a glider’s nose.

TECHNIQUES AND TERMS Folding paper aeroplanes isn’t difficult when you understand common folding techniques and terms. Review this list before folding the models in this book. Remember to refer back to this list if you get stuck on a tricky step.

Valley folds

Mountain folds

Reverse folds

Valley foldsare represented by a dashed line. The paper is creased along the line. The top surface of the paper is folded against itself like a book.

Mountain foldsare represented by a pink or white dashed and dotted line. The paper is creased along the line and folded behind.

Reverse foldsare made by opening a pocket slightly and folding the model inside itself along existing creases.

Mark folds

Rabbit ear folds

Squash folds

Mark foldsare light folds used to make reference creases for a later step. Ideally, a mark fold will not be seen in the finished model.

Rabbit ear foldsare formed by bringing two edges of a point together using existing creases. The new point is folded to one side.

Squash foldsare formed by lifting one edge of a pocket and reforming it so the spine gets flattened. The existing creases become new edges.

FOLDING SYMBOLS

Fold the paper in the direction of the arrow.

Fold the paper behind.

Turn the paper over or rotate it to a new position.

Fold the paper and then unfold it.

A fold or edge hidden under another layer of paper; also used to mark where to cut with scissors
