How To Fold and Tweak a Great Paper Airplane

[@REXanadu]

Just made it and was surprised at how well it flew compared to the others I've made in the past (i.e. in the 5th grade). Good to know how it all works. Also shocked and amazed there is a person who specializes in making airplanes.

[@AureliaLux]

John has one of those voices that you could listen to for hours.

[@KingOfM1necr4ft]

Smart. and I love how it starts to go down and then starts to glide up.

[@claraueltschi409]

I MADE A PINK PLANE AND IT FLEW AND AM TEACHING LITTLE KIDS TO DO IT SO MUCH FUN. WE STARTED WITH THE DART TODAY .. NEXT WE WILL MAKE THIS ONE

[@TomPatelGaming]

I learnt how to make this paper plane about 30 years ago. I still use the same design when making paper planes for my children.

[@mirnamarroquin8783]

TomPatelGaming is doing good

[@marvincurilan4504]

WAT 30...30YRS

[@kobykbm8416]

TomPatelGaming dude I know you don’t have kids you have a roblox logo lol

[@dhruvtheking5581]

Ooooooooff!

[@wafflethug]

1" is 25.4mm

[@jeremyshaferorigami]

Thanks for the reminder. I'll get to the video hopefully for next week

[@AKAMustang]

1 inch is about 22 mm?

[@vedantesque]

Who knew this guy will be in WIRED channel

[@jeremyshaferorigami]

I have to say, good explanation, but those test flights really stunk and I think I know why! It took me a few hours yesterday to figure it out. I thought for sure John Collins of all people would know the secret tweak. I'll reveal it on my channel next week.

JeremyShaferOrigami hi

[@PayamTavakoli]

This got me want to go ahead and start up with the good ole paper airplanes again :D

[@godzillaboy6145]

I make it a little different and if u do a hybrid between it and the plane he makes to set the world record, it will have the wings of it the plane showcased in this video but the body of the record holder. That flies really good and needs minimal tweaking.

[@ung427]

When you make these ones with light paper, they just hang there in the air really slowly and fun for kids.

[@nibu7118]

People do realise that the name of the plane is in the description and he says it in the video and did not take credit for design right

[@legendarylikebot8465]

nibesh ghale he literally took credit by saying that it was designed by Ajay Nakamura

[@Rearmostbean]

This plane is great actually. Better than anything else for the effort.

[@n74productions37]

A bit of tape in the center ? Is that recommended? Back in my childhood, our dad would tape it together, at the center. His argument being, to keep the frame from vibrations, in flight.

[@xyzzy7xg]

Sorry for the late response, but no tape needed.

[@BIkeManBen]

It's funny how something so simple could be so technical.

[@rafaelazo75]

and how it could fly 226 feet

[@exoticsilence4261]

I used to make these types of planes when I was a kid

[@arthurmorgan7642]

Fun fact: RAT is a real system in real planes, usually commercial airliners. It's used when the engines fail, or a problem happens with the electricity fails. When activated, a propeller about the size of a small Cessnas propeller comes down from bellow the planes fuselage, and gets rotated by the wind. Think of it as a windmill, it spins and gives electricity to operate electrical the components in the plane.

[@arthurmorgan7642]

Stands for RAM AIR TURBINE

[@BeefaloBart]

I have been folding planes that way since the mid 70s

[@guruaccount]

haha i was thinking the same thing when they started talking about the increadable Makinorma fold. lol -- my dad showed me how to do that when i was 5 ;)

[@jojobear6507]

Beefalo Bart same, the way he says nakamura lock as if it has been newly discovered

[@alex291190]

This is so incredibly interesting.. and I have no idea why! :D

[@Clerkb0y]

Love it going to try with my son he's going love this thx guys

[@jaredralphstanley]

this is the only plane i know how to make. fyi i fold the wings out adjacent to the top of the RAT fold so the handle you hold is the same height all the way across the length, making for a wider wing surface which = more lift...

[@Moesie]

he is touching de papers like it's gold for him😂😲

sir Bean .

[@jonathanweikert3303]

the airplane flies great

[@sgmi9284]

I learned how to make this airplane since I was 4 years old and I still make it today

[@drphu]

Good Folding, bad throwing example! Mine is slightly different, made it since early '70's

[@beastlyhollow3177]

Dude this plane is the original it's so easy

[@1DJLNR]

exactly. this guy was born yesterday or youtube is making everyone give away all our childhood secrets for a little fame and money we all know doesn't exist in that grave!!

[@jeremyshaferorigami]

Ok I did, finally. I just posted it.

[@alex._5947]

JeremyShaferOrigami omg Jeremy !

[@aaradhankishore6219]

Omg so the nakamura lock airplane was the inspiration from this.......

[@dillanschofield4965]

wow this planes amazing thanks for showing us how to make it.

[@Drackormort]

So i'm a paper airplane expert since kindergarten? that's good news

[@spyersecol0013]

RAT = Right About There. Another real technical term used in aircraft design and repair is: TLAR = That Looks About Right!

[@faiz434]

Haha I always make this plane when I was young, except mine has a pointy front. And to increase stability and help it fly straight, I fold about 0.5-1cm of each side of the wing from one end to the other end to 90 degrees. I found that out by coincidence since I'm trying to make it look more badass haha. It will help stabilize your plane even if it doesn't fly straight in the first place. Well most of the time, if done right.

[@BoronBullet]

Love the music

[@ung427]

I wonder where this came from because my dad taught me this design when I was a kid, and just this weekend I made it for my niece and it flew about 100 feet! Haa haa.

[@winsonlin9630]

Is this really his job?

[@stddffddts6381]

I flew it... landed in the trash..😖

[@D13GO654]

Stddf Fddts That's because it is trash

[@stddffddts6381]

Luckymon_Playz but it was so graceful... for a second..😛

[@D13GO654]

Stddf Fddts I know how to make a plane 2 times better than this one

Can you fold f-22 raptor, please

[@sebastiangarciaherrera7099]

I've been making that plane for years

[@johnnybravo5282]

of course you have

[@andigator1012]

omg it is so good

[@1DJLNR]

is it me or am i on a parallel earth where everyone on this new thing called social media were born after 1994 even the old looking humans just spawned out of nowhere!!

[@MisterLiBRiUMz]

This isn't the world record plane, just a really good glider!

[@sumi9224]

After I fold it in half I unfold it and then fold those flaps

[@johnnyhenson191]

I make that plane ALL THE TIME

[@st-art9876]

I must say that the Nakamura design is not original. I am 52 years old and in Israel back in my childhood in the Israel Aero Club that design was very common, i was 8-9 years old when me and my friends were folding our paper planes exactly like that. I don't know where Mr Nakamura discovered it but the idea is not his.

[@tempestfury8324]

I'm not certain when this design was created but I too have been making it since the early 1970's. The "creator" Eiji Nakamura has written many origami books and one published in 1972 was about paper airplanes. There is no real way of knowing how old the design is but I'm certain that it was before 1972. Still, it's one of my favorite planes, easy to make and remember, and a great flyer!

[@andrewroozen9151]

Does'nt John mean the airplane rotates around the 'centre of gravity or mass' not the 'centre of lift'.

[@nathanleemarbella759]

no

[@李敏-q4h]

nothing new！ I made this paper airplane since I was a child.

[@shivrajbajaj8085]

Jermy why are you one jhons content

[@Wallace19711]

You should see Real Paper Airplanes its on youtube. SR-71 BLACKBIRD. four stories high Also look at Tape.ave Backed by Lockheed Martin Corp. The next level man!

[@robloxtv1207]

I wish I had those sheets of paper

[@louieelia3970]

I make that paper air plane all the time

[@Faris-fz1cz]

i don't get it

[@zoxical]

i knew this plane when i was 3 ._.

[@1DJLNR]

2012, i did this back in 1987 but how?

[@tempestfury8324]

I've been making that same plane since the early 1970's.

[@colorized245]

In one of my books, this is called the Super Plane. Well, I know what the real name is now.

[@yvesthach6220]

I am Vietnamese too!

[@sethuramannatesaiyer7289]

Its really cool

[@Christian.McDonald]

i won a school contest with this airplane

[@kevinleng8756]

tell us how to make a world record plane

[@awildtomappeared5925]

that plane is used to win the world record distance throw

[@CamdenWallraff]

+Thomas Bailey-Byrne not quite, he folds the tip to be a point rather than an edge. it sacrifices impact durability for performance.

[@Axizi]

kevin leng he did on his channel ''The PaperAirplaneGuy''is the channel name

[@ShwetaSingh-gu7nc]

I am a kid but I love to make paper airplane

[@DavidSmith-vr1nb]

Try 24.5 mm for your inch...

[@awildtomappeared5925]

i d say 24.5148mm

[@sdhlkfhalkjgd]

Heh.. 25.4

[@phantomfireball7163]

I like the book.

[@turtleneck9995]

1:09 haha so I’m not the only one who does it like dat

[@kurdistanallahuakbar2033]

yes

[@zahidunnabi6327]

Wow

[@HeyJD123]

Ugh, you can't make this outside of America.

[@SmokeAndClickCircles]

+HeyJD Why? Do we have a weird non standard paper size?

[@HeyJD123]

+MySubstitutedReality Yep, just like the measurement system, there's the US paper sizes and then there's the International paper sizes.

[@1DJLNR]

i make better ones but size doesn't matter it you know about paper planes, the size must not be a square thats all because we need the length to make some folds for a slight weight increase to manage the air resistance, A4 paper size measurements world wide are very close so this debate is a lost cause, dnt you guys have family or friends in either country? its best to so you can avoid believing everything on the net, with no geographical friends you have no choice to believe all the twisted crap stories out there still unresolved..

[@LucasWills]

+HeyJD trim about a centimeter of the bottom of a sheet of A4 paper

[@squidip3591]

yes you can

[@inkpierno4ever406]

Mine flew into the forest in my backyard

[@Nicbaggins]

Guys, this is not the world record plane. Get your facts straight.

[@brandons3312]

It is because he made a video with it

[@Thor-uq3bi]

He literally said it was put the world record plain but it’s s good one.

[@kiwisadopted3388]

This was 6 years ago

[@rtleeson]

oh no im on THAT part of youtube again

[@zachharmon3294]

its not the world record plane just to let ou know.
