Fold a rocket paper airplane as follows:

Prepare a square piece of paper by folding two corners in half. Fold the two corners in half again.

Unfold it, and we will mainly use the creases. Fold the two bottom edges up, aligning them with the center.

After folding, along the center line, fold down. Once folded, adjust the position and along the red line, fold down.

Line up both sides. Unfold and fold the crease in the opposite direction. That is, the inside folds inward and the outside folds outward. Once folded, fold in half along the center line. Fold the top portion down twice along the red line. Leave two creases. Unfold and fold along the creases, the inside crease inward and the outside crease outward, as shown in the pattern below. Once folded, you get the pattern below, and then fold up along the red line. Unfold and fold the sharp corners inward by a small amount. Fold again, the space shuttle is completed.

Paper airplane (scientific name: autonomous power aerodynamic physical model) is a kind of paper made of toy airplanes. As long as the aircraft made of paper, can be called a paper airplane. Origami airplanes it is the most common form of aviation origami crafts, belonging to a branch of origami crafts, also belongs to a kind of paper airplane. Since it is one of the easiest types of origami to master, it is popular with beginners and even experts.

Making toys out of paper is thought to have originated in China 2,000 years ago, when kites were a popular pastime. But it is not the same as paper airplanes. The earliest paper airplanes that can be dated were made in the West in 1909. However, the most accepted method was made by John K. Northrop (one of the founders of Lockheed) in 1930. Northrop used paper airplanes to do simulation tests to discover the flight mechanisms of real airplanes.
