Easy to Make Paper Airplanes
If you’ve ever been a kid, you’ve folded a paper airplane. The traditional design is “The Dart Paper Airplanes” and these are the kind of paper airplanes that kids fold. Why? Because the darts are the easiest to fold. There are (5) variations of this schoolyard special on this website, four of which are included in this list. There are also several other easy designs that are not categorized in the Darts section, but they are included in this list. Just click on the links to get to the instructions pages. Without further ado, I present you the easy paper airplane designs!
Hammerhead Paper Airplane
The hammerhead paper airplane is the compact version of the classic. It has a tail for vertical stability. It has extra strong wings, making it a strong flyer. The tail also adds variety to its flight pattern. You can experiment with the tail size, taking care not to make it too big.
The Manta Ray Paper Airplane
Don’t let the forward swept winglets (canards) fool you! The Manta Ray paper airplane is, in fact, easy to fold. The canards give you extra control of its flight. This design requires a square sheet of paper.
Seagull Paper Airplane
The Sea Gull paper airplane is a unique Delta Wing design and its tucked nose propels this elegant moving craft into a slow, long distance floater. This variation on a traditional glider design will float straight and far when folded well.
The Marlin Paper Airplane
The Marlin paper airplane is a simple variation of the classic dart. It can folded very easily and can be thrown really hard like a true-blue “blackboard bomber”. Add a paper clip on its nose and it can go even faster!
Hickory Paper Airplane
The Hickory paper airplane, a.k.a “The Squid”, is truly a classic. It’s easy to fold just like the other models you’ve seen above. It’s a basic Canard Flyer and requires a sheet of letter size, medium to heavy weight paper.
The Falcon Paper Airplane
The Falcon paper airplane belongs to the “Jets and Bombers” category. Most paper airplanes in that category are not very easy to fold ... except for this one! The Falcon has swept-back front winglets that give it a menacing appearance. It is a sturdy aircraft and flies well.
It can also do loops!
