Folding a Falcon Paper Airplane

Folding a Falcon Paper Airplane

Step of Folding Paper

Step 1 : Start with a 8 1/2"x11" paper. Fold paper in half vertically and unfold.

Step 2 : Next fold the top corners inward to the canter crease.

Step 3 : Fold the top point downward as shown.

Step 4 : Fold the top corners inward to the center crease and then unfold the

right side corner.

Step 5 : Put your index finger under the flap and lift the flap towards the left.

Step 6 : Flip the flap to the left side.

Step 7 : Fold the new triangle flap to the left side.

Step 8 : Unfold the left side flap.

Step 9 : Repeat steps 5, 6 and 7 for the left side.

Step 10 : The fold should looks like this.

Step 11 : Fold the both side flaps toward the center line and unfold.

Step 12 : Make a mountain fold at the top corner section.

Step 13: Put your index finger under the flap as shown with the green arrow. Pull up the top flap corner while pressing the base part with your index finger.

Step 14 : Pull up the tip. This part becomes airplane's nose.

Step 15 : Fold the model in half. Use a mountain fold.

Step 16 : Fold the wing downward. Repeat on the other. The model should look like the picture shown in 17.

Step 17 : Add a rudder as shown in this diagram. It should be 3/4 inches height, and should be parallel with the body of the airplane. Repeat for the other wing.

Step 18: The F-16 Falcon jet is complete. Bend the trailing edge of the wings slightly upwards. This will compensate for the airplane's tendency to nose dive.
