You only need A4 paper (8.3 x 11.7 inches). Now let's start.

Fold It

Put your paper into the landscape orientation and fold the paper horizontally in half.

Fold Down the Top Corners

Now fold the top left corner so that the top left corner will meet the bottom crease.

Fold Down the Top Corner on the Other Side

Flip the paper from front to back so that the back side of the paper faces you. Fold the bottom left corner facing you so that the bottom left corner will meet the top edge.

Open Up the Paper

Then, open up the paper into the first crease that we made, except for the two corners that we just folded. Next is to place the paper into portrait orientation.

Fold It More

Fold the sharp top all the way down to the bottom edge. (Make a nice crease.) And then the next step is to fold the sharp top at the bottom into the crease you just made.

Fold the Corner

Fold the top left and top right corners into the center as shown in the image.

Making a Pinch Mark

Unfold the left corner that you just folded. With that position, you can see an inside thick layer. Seeing that layer, make a strong pinch mark in the right triangle by folding up the bottom left edge of the right angle until the thin layer meets the thick layer, and fold that thing until the edge of the right, right angle. It should look sharp at the end of the right, right angle layer. (If you don't understand, see the image at the top.) Now do the same thing to the left one.

Reverse and Tuck It In

Now reverse the two creases that you just made, and then tuck in the reversed pinch mark that you just made into the thick horizontal line you see.

The next step is to turn the paper one time counterclockwise. Then flip the paper vertically and fold it in half.

Fold to Make a Wing

Fold the paper to make a wing. (Leave space at least as wide as your thumb.) Fold the other wing, making it parallel with the other wing.

Fold to Make Winglet

Place your thumb on the edge of the wing horizontally. With your thumb-wide size, you are going to fold the paper until the top of the paper reaches the wide top of your thumb finger. Next is to fold the diagonal crease facing the sharp part. Fold the winglet similarly on the other side.

Fold to Make Curving Edge

Fold the paper wing along the edge of the plane where you hold it and throw it to make it fly. Do the same thing to the other side. (Make sure to make crease just the layered part.)

Spread the Wings and Enjoy

Spread the wing using your hand and be a real-life pilot. Enjoy 😎

Advice

  1. Curve the edge of the wing up so that it will fly better.

So these were the steps on how to make a "Stealth Dart" paper airplane. As I said, this is important because it can make you less stressed, creative, and have fun. Hope you guys will have fun playing with it.
