Materials Needed
- 2 x A4 papers – or download template
- Scissors
- Folding block (optional)
- Ruler or straight edge (optional)
Getting started: Fine-Tune the Folding
You can use a ruler or straight edge to make sure all the edges and lines of your F-22 Raptor are crisp and clean. You can also use a folding block to ensure the creases are true and correct.
Select the first page and turn the page around in the portrait position and fold it in half (side to side) making sure the edges line up perfectly.
Open up the page and fold the two top corners along folding line Nr.2 forming a mid-section triangle. Do this for both sides.
Next, fold the outer edge of the Nr.2 fold line onto the centre crease line following the Nr.3. fold line. Do the same for both sides.
To fold the mid-section of the F-22 paper airplane jet, a few crease lines need to be made. Following the inner edge of Step 3, and fold line Nr.4, create a crease line. Do the same for fold line Nr.5. Now fold the top of the plane to the bottom where crease lines 4 & 5 intersect, making sure the centre crease lines stay inline.
Open the nose section back up, while pushing inward on fold line Nr.6 creating a rabbet ear. Push the top of the nose down and squash fold all the layers.
Find fold line Nr.8 and fold upward on it to form the nose section of the F-22 paper jet.
Find the cut-out sections on the main wing and remove.
Select the second page and fold it in half (side to side) making sure the edges line up perfectly.
To shape the docking section of the top plane, find the 10 & 11 fold lines and make a hard crease on both. Next, find the Nr.12 fold line where the previous fold intersects and make another hard crease.
Open up all the folds and turn the page around in the portrait position with creases just made at the top. On fold line, Nr.12 push inward to create a reverse fold landing the spine section of the line on the centre crease section of the F-22 paper jet.
Turn the plane around so the folded section is at the bottom with the nose pointing to the left. To shape the winglets/rudders of the F-22 paper airplane jet start by folding the top corners inward on fold line Nr.14. Next, fold the Outer edge of the top flap inward following fold line Nr.15. Repeat for the other side.
Fold the top flap section downward on fold line Nr.16. Secure it with a hard crease. Next, fold the winglet back up on fold line Nr.17 to create the top part of the F-22 Raptor winglet. Repeat the steps for the other side.
Bring the two parts together with the nose sections facing to the left. Slide the second section gently into the pocket section on the nose of the first plane.
Fold the plane in half upwards matching the top wing and body sections. Find fold line Nr.23 and fold the wing downwards to create the main wing section. Repeat for the other side matching the wing fold position.
Shape the cockpit, wings and winglets to get a balanced look on your plane, grab it at the bottom and give it a toss for great fun.
