High-Flying Paper Airplanes

By Jacob Botermans

Book Overview

From the Concorde to the Stealth Bomber, these more than 35 great-looking, superbly aerodynamic paper craft look amazingly like the actual planes, helicopters, and gliders they're modeled on. And, along with this easy-to-follow and well-illustrated manual, all you need to construct them are paper, some basic origami folds, and a few everyday supplies such as a pencil, glue, scissors, and tape. True to its name, the Simple Jet is so uncomplicated to make, it's worth creating an entire fleet in different colors. The Arrow-head flies fast and true; decorate its huge wings with personal insignia. Try experimental planes, such as the Grumman A-6 Intruder; stunt flyers, including the Avro Vulcan, especially made for performance flights; and many other exciting craft.
