How to make an origami airplane
Designed by Jo Nakashima (17/05/2016)
Difficulty level: low intermediate

I’ve created this model to look like an airliner, but unfortunately it can’t fly (nor transport passengers). This plane isn’t hard to fold, but there is one step that can be tricky for beginners (narrowing the wings – 8:10 in the video or steps 17-18 in the diagrams). However, you can just skip this step if you think it’s too difficult.

Paper

In this tutorial I’m using a 15cm x 15cm sheet of origami paper. You can use any square size to make this origami airplane.
