Paper Plane: the Piranha

The Piranha is a paper aeroplane specifically designed for short range speed and accuracy. It produces virtually no lift and cannot glide.

Take one A4 piece of paper. Fold the piece of paper in half longways, then unfold.

Fold the corners at one end of the paper so they meet the center line. Use the fold you have created as a guide line

Fold the tip of the plane back so it meets the points where the other folds cross.

Now fold the corners in again. However, do not start the fold exactly on at the tip, and do not fold all the way to the center line. Leave a tiny gap between the centre line and the folds.

Fold in once more

Refold along the center line

Fold along the yellow line on both sides of the paper
