Center Heavy Wing – The Balancing Act

Ever seen a plane that knows the art of staying grounded while soaring high? 🎭 The Center Heavy Wing is all about precision and balance. It’s like the tightrope walker of the paper aviation scene, always keeping its cool. Fold it up, and see if you can master its delicate flight!

Step	Image	Instruction
0		Start with a rectangular piece of paper.

2		Unfold.
3		Fold it in half along the longer edge.
4		Unfold.
5		Flip the paper.
6		Fold the left side in half by picking the left edge and aligning with the central vertical crease.
7		Unfold.
8		Create a new valley fold between the valley fold on the left and the mountain fold at the center.
9		Pick up the bottom left corner and make a diagonal fold.
10		Reflect the diagonal fold for the top left corner.
11		Fold the paper in half following the central horizontal mountain crease.
12		Fold the top flap downwards such that the top edge touches the bottom edge.
13		Flip the paper.
14		Make an identical fold on this side forming the wings.
15		Open up the wings such that they are planar to each other.
16		Put a small tap so that the fuselage stays closed.
17		Setup a small (dihedral) angle on the wings for better flights.
