Do you want to make a fast paper airplane?

You can make one that flies very far.

First, get a flat sheet of paper.

Lay the paper down on a table.

Fold the paper in half the long way.

Make the edges match up nicely.

Open the paper up again.

You will see a straight line down the middle.

Now, fold the top corners in.

Make them meet at the center line.

Your paper will look like a house now.

It has a pointy roof at the top.

Next, fold the slanted sides in again.

Line them up with the middle crease.

Now, fold the whole plane in half.

The folded parts should be on the inside.

Fold the wings down on each side.

The wings should be wide and flat.

Press all the folds down very hard.

This makes your plane sharp and fast.

Hold the bottom of the plane with your fingers.

Throw it gently and watch it glide far away!
