Super Plane

Step 1
Start by taking an A4 paper. One side of my paper is blue-coloured and the other is not. This is only better understand the the different folds.
Step 2
Having your paper in portrait shape, fold the upper right of the paper down, so that it makes a triangle.
Step 3
Now unfold it.
Step 4
Fold the upper left part of the paper down.
Step 5
Unfold it again.
Step 6
Where the 2 creases formed join, fold the upper part backwards.
Step 7
Undo it.
Step 8
Using the 3 lines on the paper, fold the left and right part "in", with the upper part over them.
Step 9
Flatten it.
Step 10
Fold the right wing up.
Step 11
The left wing too.
Step 12
Now fold the lower part of the newly formed right triangle so that it joins the center line.
Step 13
Unfold it!
Step 14
Fold the upper part of the triangle the same way.
Step 15
Unfold it again!
Step 16
This time, take the upper point of the right side and fold it down so that it makes 2 half-triangles. (The image shows it when opened).
Step 17
Return it like before that last folding.
Step 18
Use the crease made in step 12, 14 and 16 to fold the right triangle on the center line, with a triangle leveling up in the middle.
Step 19
So that is looks like this.
Step 20
Do the same thing as from step 12 to 19 to the left side so that both sides are equal.
Step 21
Where the 2 center triangles meet, fold the upper part backwards BUT leave the beak-like part "hanging".
Step 22
Like so.
Step 23
This is how it looks turned upside-down.
Step 24
Fold the plane in 2 parts to obtain 2 wings.
Step 25
Fold the right wing down some point above the center.
Step 26
Left wing now.
Step 27
Fold the right wing about at about half-way
Step 28
Do the same thing for the left.
Step 29
Unfold the 2 wings.
Step 30
Now wind up the right wing a little so that if flies better.
Step 31
Here too.
Step 32
Here's your plane.
