Paper-plane making may well extend back to ancient China where both paper and the art of paper folding (“origami”) were invented. Paper plane models have also been used by aviation inventors such as the Wright Brothers and Leonardo da Vinci to test their theories before building full-scale planes. Fold the paper in half lengthways. It is important that this fold is as accurate as possible, so take your time to line up the edges of the paper. You can also reverse the fold (turn the paper over and fold along the same line) to increase its sharpness. Hold the paper open.
