Build an easy paper jet model with your hands, some

scissors, two rules and some glue !
Check your handiwork skill !
Challenge a child to build it !
Assemble one as a gift for someone !
Collect the most famous jets in the world !
Once built, fly it !
Print in sheet 1 pages 7 and opposite 7, in sheet 2 page 8, in sheet

3 page 9 and in sheet 4 page 10. Cut the pieces, bend on the lines
to give shape and paste with glue. The plane is balanced and should
fly with minor aerodynamic adjustments.
Whole process from assembly to flying is detailed in this document.
PaperAircrafts.com presents a flying paper-plane that attempts to

replicate as simple as possible the famous Eurofighter decorated as
British Royal Air Force.
Built by BAE Systems, EADS Germany, Alenia and EADS Spain, the
Eurofighter is an air superiority, multi-role, twin engine, single or two
seat, delta wing and canard configurated fighter. First planes were
delivered in 2003.
Enjoy !

! Note about Glue
Before start
pasteing the aircraft,
check your glue:
Spread some glue
in a sheet of paper
and wait some
minutes. If the
paper gets wrinkled
or wavy, then, that
glue is not valid for
paper; the aircraft
would be deformed.
Suitable glues could
be “transparent
contact glue” usually
for repairing shoes.
√ X
4
Print pages 7, 8, 9 and

10 in common paper A4
or Regular Letter. Print
at scale 100% to avoid
parts distortion and using
option ”Auto-rotate and
center pages”. Do not “fit
to page” or “shrink to
page”.
Cut parts over the
external lines.
Fold over the lines

with the help of
the rules to
achieve the shape
of each part.
Note that you can
bend the paper on
the lines with the
help of the rules,
(to the opposite
side) and after it,
with your fingers,
on the same line,
to the correct side
to achieve the final
piece shape.

Paste the parts puting glue in the overlaping

surfaces.

Put little amount of glue. Otherwise, the aircraft
would look ugly and it would weight too much.

the paper with your fingers

aircraft could have defects,

but they must be symmetrical.

2 Aircraft balanced
Rest the aircraft on two fingers so that the wing’s circles

get positioned just over them. If it keeps levelled and
does not fall…it is balanced.
√ Ready to fly
If it falls forward, the nose is

too heavy. Remove part or
whole piece 10
If it falls backward, it needs more

weight in the nose. Did you
paste parts 10,11,12 and 13 ?
Add part or a whole piece 10.

4 Correcting the flight path:

Pitch
If the aircraft pitchs down going to the ground, deflect downward

gently the elevators. Repeat the flight. If it keeps going down,
deflect the elevators downward a little more until the aircraft went
straight gliding.
If the gliding path osciles

like above… the elevators
may be too much deflected
downward. Reduce the
elevators downward
deflection.
In this case the nose still needs a little

more weight. Cut a triangular piece of
paper and paste it in the nose
20
+
If you achieve to stabilize the glide path but it is too inclined
downward… the nose may be too heavy. Remove part of piece
10 and reduce the elevators downward deflection.
Correcting the flight path: direction
To correct the turn, deflect the ailerons asymmetricaly like

each picture shows but very gently. The deflection in the
pictures is exaggerated; you would obtain the opposite efect.
21
In case of little corrections in direction, you can use the rudder.

Deflect it very gently.
Correct left turns deflecting Correct right turns

the rudder right deflecting the rudder left.
5 Advanced Flight
Once you have calibrated the glide path in pitch and direction,
you can try different aircraft performances.
The aircraft will pitch

“Cruise”: down, oppose it,
deflecting down the
elevators a little.
Deflect down
the LE flaps a
little.
The aircraft will fly more smoothly

Note about printing Parts

There are five pages with the parts to be printed on four
sheets of paper. Page opposite 7 must be printed behind
page 7 in order to the plane was correctly decorated. Check
option “Auto-rotate and center pages” but do not “fit to page”
or “shrink to page”. Pages 7, 8, 9 and 10 must be printed
with 100% scale to avoid parts distortion. If you want to print
the rest of pages use “fit to page” option.
Page Page 8 Sheet 2

Page 7 Sheet 1 opposite 7
Page 9 Sheet 3 Page 10 Sheet 4
If you want to build a static model (not to fly) you could print on a
high quality paper in high resolution. But if you want a flying model
it is better to use normal paper printed in low resolution for saving
weight and avoiding wrinkling the paper with excess of ink.
