Futuristic Glider – “The Time Traveler” feels like it’s been sent back from the future to show us what paper planes can truly be. 🚀 Its sleek, modern design is a work of art, looking more like a spaceship than a traditional fold. With this one, you’re not just flying—you’re making a statement.

Step	Image	Instruction
0		Start with a rectangular piece of paper.
1		Fold it along the shorter edge.
2		Unfold and flip the paper such that the previous fold appears as a mountain.
3		Make a diagonal fold starting from the bottom right corner such that the bottom left corner touches the top edge.
4		Make a similar fold starting from the top right corner.
5		Undo the last two folds.
6		Fold along the horizontal mountain crease in the center such that the mountain crease becomes a valley.
7		Pick up the top left corner and fold it down following the pre-existing diagonal crease.
8		Open up the paper.
9		Make a similar fold on the top side.
10		Unfold.
11		Flip the paper.
12		Press on the intersection point as shown to have the left section pop up.
13		Using the intersection point as a pivot and following the creases, fold the left section towards the right.
14		You should get a diamond with a lean triangle forming on the top left.
15		Fold the lean triangle on to itself (to the right).
16		Fold a 1cm flap on the left.
17		Fold the bottom right flap to create a horizontal crease parallel to the central crease, starting from the point where the bottom flap touches edge of the top layer triangle. This forms one of the wings.
18		Repeat the fold on the top right flap.
19		Pick up the last 2-3cm of the wing and fold it in the opposite direction.
20		Repeat it on the other side.
21		Pick up the corner of the wing and fold it one more time with the crease parallel to the central horizontal crease.
22		Repeat it on the other wing.
23		Flip the paper.
24		Finesse the flap on the left to form a curve.
25		Insert the triangular sections at the end of the flap on to the other, creating a circular loop.
26		At the point where the flap is inserted, pinch and fold it inward.
27		Flip it such that the bottom layer shows up on top and unfold the wings.
28		Flip it again and open up the ends of the wings.
29		At the very end of the central horizontal crease, push the paper upward to create a tiny flap.
