Easy Jet From IrrelEvant Paper Planes: Vanguard

And I thought cool looking jets couldn’t get any easier! Let’s get into folding Vanguard!

Supplies

8.5”x11” paper or A4 paper
two hands

Fold in Half

It’s gonna be hotdog style.

Fold Down Lengthwise 3.75” and Fold Back in Half

If you have A4 paper then this step is not necessary.

Fold Down at an Angle

Fold down to where it catches wa the bottom corner (where the 3.75” flap is) and at the opposite top corner, you wanna add a 1cm excess lip. Do that on both sides.

Fold Down Twice

I marked where to fold in the first image, but on the next image it shows to fold from the very front top of the plane and to the back top of the plane. Do this on both sides.

Rotate and Fold Down

You’re just lining it up with the edge behind it as marked.

Unfold the Half Crease and Fold the Two Corners Into the Center

Fold Into the Crease and Roll It Back In

Fold the Wings Behind and Fold to the Edge

Fold the Fin

Make sure it lines up with the edge behind.

Fold Into the Center and Where It Catches

Do All of That Again

Repeat all of that from step 8 on the other side.

Fold in Half and Wrap Around to Lock the Plane

Fold the Wings and Line Up the Back Edge

You also want to continue that crease just above the bottom of the lock where it will catch before it tears. Repeat on both sides.

Final Touches

Unfold the wings, straighten the fins, and add some up elevator pinches. Now you have a finished Vanguard!
