Cool Paper Plane

Tags: Origami , IPE

(Español: Un avión de papel)

While trying to remember how to fold the current long distance record-breaking paper plane, y ended up inventing my own paper plane!

It is pretty similar to the record breaking plane, but it is no exactly the same. I think it has a different balance point, which may make it a better glider (an maybe not long distance record breaking?) It glides very nicely.

These are folding instructions which I created using IPE, an open source vector image editing software with LaTeX support which I enjoy using. Instructions can also be downloaded in pdf format.

Note: to get it to glide well, the back corners may need to be curved slightly upwards.
