Читать книгу Simple Origami Airplanes - Andrew Dewar - Страница 6

Introduction

Isn’t it amazing that an ordinary piece of paper can turn into an airplane? A real airplane, just like the ones that fly overhead every day?

Those airplanes, full of people flying here and there, have engines to help them take off and fly long distances. Paper airplanes may not have the engines, but if you fold them right and throw them carefully, they will fly just the same.

All airplanes need wings and balance. With origami planes, you get balance by folding your paper so that there are wings at the back, and lots of weight at the front.

This book is filled with directions for folding planes that will really fly, and paper you can use to make them. Even when the paper is gone and your airplanes have all flown away, you can use these directions with your own paper to make a whole new fleet of amazing origami airplanes.
