This plane is one of the world's best paper airplanes. With large wings and flaps, it can fly for 15+ seconds. However, it is currently not the world's best paper airplane. The record for longest flight it held by Ken Blackburn, whose plane can be viewed at paperplane.org.

1. Fold the paper in half. Unfold.
2. Fold a starting triangle by bringing the top corners of the paper to the crease in the center.
3. Fold the tip of this starting triangle down to its bottom.
4. Fold the starting triangle over, but backwards.
5. Unfold step 3 by bringing the tip of the starting triangle down again. Call the red dot in the middle "Point X."
6. Bring the top two corners of the paper to "Point X." This is shown in two pictures; the second part is on the right.
7. Fold the tip of your [ex-]starting triangle up.
8. Fold the paper in half backwards, so that everything you did is on the outside.
9. Fold wings (again, two steps).Voila! Your glider is complete! Hold it as demonstrated below; throw it upwards at a 45-degree angle with the wind.
