Storm Purple Dart — Jumbo (tabloid sheet)

The one every kid folds first.

The Dart is the classic paper airplane — narrow nose, tight wings, and a confident straight-line glide. Perfect for your first fold and still great when you want to win a hallway contest.

How to fold it

Use a 11×17 / A3 sheet. Take your time on the first crease — every other fold depends on it.

  1. 1

    Fold the paper in half the long way, then unfold so you have a center crease.

  2. 2

    Fold the top two corners in to meet the center crease.

  3. 3

    Fold the new slanted edges into the center crease again (this makes the pointy nose).

  4. 4

    Fold the plane in half along the original crease, away from you.

  5. 5

    Fold each wing down so the top edge meets the bottom edge.

  6. 6

    Lift the wings up until they are flat and shaped like a T.
