Looking at pictures of paper airplanes provides inspiration for your own designs. Most paper planes are created to fly, so a little experimenting might be in order to find a plane that soars through the air. Once you create the plane, unfold it one crease at a time, writing the directions down. After you finish, simply reverse the directions and you have your own origami plane instructions.
Planes with Back Wings
Just a few simple folds will create the airplane at the left. The short wings placed in the back of the plane make aiming a little difficult, so practice throwing this plane before challenging your friends to an airplane race.
Front Wings
Switch things up and fold the wings close to the nose of the plane for a different flying experience.
Money Airplanes
Printer paper isn't the only medium for making airplanes. Money is the perfect shape for creating small sleek planes.
