Paper planes are perfect to spend a fun time both for children and those who are a bit more grown up. In this case we are going to make a special paper plane, as we won't be throwing them with our hands but with an elastic band that will make it fly up in the skies. You basically need to make a normal paper plane with a small support at the base so you can add the elastic band. You need to know how to do it properly so that the support holds the strength of the elastic band. If you want to know how to make a paper plane that flies far and fast, take a look at the following video and don't miss a detail.

You'll need:

  • 2 sheets of paper
  • Tape
  • Pin or similar
  • Staple
  • Elastic band

Tips

  • You can reinforce the paper plane quite a lot with the tape, this way the support for the band will be held safely..
  • We recommend you put something a bit heavy at the tip, this way it will fly for longer.
