The Simple (and famous) Dart Paper Airplane

The Simple (and famous) Dart Paper Airplane


Step One: Fold the paper vertically (length wise) and then UN- fold it to make a crease up the middle
 
Step Two: Fold the outer corners into the center crease
Step Three: Make a 'mountain fold'. ..where the two halves are folded BACK against each other.

 
Step Four: Fold the 'wings' down and square off....as shown below
To fly the dart, grasp the bottom and launch with a moderate throw..This is NOT the world's best gliding paper model but is perfect to learn the basics of paper model folding and flight.

If you only make ONE flying paper model.. this is the one..
But be careful not to throw it toward anything with eyes because it flies real fast---like a dart..
