how to make a simple paper airplane

To make a simple paper airplane, follow these straightforward steps:

1. Take a sheet of paper (8.5 x 11 inches works well) and fold it in half lengthwise, then unfold it to create a center crease.
2. Fold the top two corners inward to the center crease to form a triangle shape at the top.
3. Fold the top point of the triangle down to meet the bottom edge of the folded corners.
4. Fold the top corners in again so their points meet at the center line, creating a narrower triangle.
5. Fold the small triangular flap at the bottom up to lock the previous folds in place.
6. Fold the paper airplane in half along the center crease, folding towards you.
7. Fold down one side to form a wing, then flip and fold the other side to match.
8. Unfold the wings slightly so they are horizontal and parallel to the ground.

Now the simple paper airplane is ready to fly and can be adjusted by bending the wings or wing tips for better flight performance.
