Purchase options and add-ons

Pure origami is an ancient and elegant art, whereas making paper airplanes is often considered a relatively modern recreation. Origami focuses on beauty, while the performance of a paper airplane is usually its most important attribute. This clearly written, carefully illustrated how-to book combines the two activities to produce an up-to-date innovation: artfully constructed origami airplanes that actually fly.
The author first shows you how to construct the Jet Tail, an important basic feature that is needed for many of the more difficult models diagrammed later. This is followed by detailed, step-by-step directions and diagrams for creating each of 12 different models: space shuttle, futuristic shuttle, flying wing, delta wing-jet, fighter plane, interceptor, double tail fighter, dart plane, fighter plane with engines, futuristic fighter, and two different jets.
The projects progress in level of difficulty; as you master the simpler models you will be developing the skills you need to assemble the more complicated craft. The book also includes valuable suggestions about types of paper to use, useful hints that help ensure success, and solutions to common problems paperfolders may encounter.

Great book for paper airplane obsessed
5 out of 5 stars
Great book for paper airplane obsessed
My son is obsessed with airplanes - specifically making paper airplanes but can never quite figure out how to make them work perfectly. His Dad was in the Army and flew in some of the planes featured in the book - which made him more excited! Not only does it show the plane you are building - it also shows “fixes” to common issues in folding/flying/etc. I definitely see why this was so highly rated and such a perfect pick!

I was so excited to get this book. I perfectly made a couple for a problem child at school. He worked SO hard to get them! Then, they did not fly! He was SO disappointed. I just made him a one that I remembered from when I was a child, Thanks a lot…

Lite mer avancerad än vad jag hade tänkt mig, men hellre svårare än för lätt. 👍
Jag m.a.o skulle nog inte ge detta till ett barn under 12 års åldern, p.g.a. svårighets graden.
