To learn how to fold two fairly simple paper jets, grab some computer paper and get ready to begin. Fold a piece of paper in half lengthwise. Perform a book fold to begin. The best type of paper to use is an ordinary 7 ½ in (21.5 cm) by 11 in (28 cm) sheet of printer, or A4 paper. You can even use shipping paper. Or recycled toilet paper.

You should now begin to see the base of your jet airplane forming. The triangle folds forming the bottom, and the wing tips of your paper plane. Fold one side of the paper down to make a wing. Take the diagonal part of the paper and fold it downward until it lines up straight with the bottom edge of the paper.

Wet folding is an interesting technique, but it’s not ideal for making paper airplanes. Wet folding works best for creating smooth curves or rounded shapes because the slight dampness allows the paper to bend and hold softer lines without breaking. Also, paper airplanes rely on sharp, straight folds to fly well.

Your fighter jet paper airplane can be customized with colors, weight adjustments, and design details to make it uniquely yours. Whether you’re entertaining kids, impressing friends, or just having fun, these paper planes deliver serious flying performance. Ready to take flight?
