Origami aircraft: a master class how to make flying fighters from paper modules

The art of adding paper, called Origami, came from the East and found its fans around the world. Today I would like to share with you a description of how to make an origami plane: the scheme of this model is not very difficult, and it will perfectly suit as a creative activity with children. Particular interest in this figure will show the boys, who are fond of prefabricated models of aircraft and cars.

As usual, we start with the simplest models.

Look at what original models can be made from paper:

To my master class on creating an origami figure, an airplane video is attached, which greatly simplifies the task of making this model. In addition, if you already have a hand on the simplest figures of modular technology, this article will not cause any special difficulties.

Getting started, we usually begin with the preparation of materials.

So, prepare 83 triangular modules of the desired color. I chose the blue one. Plus we need 6 more smaller modules. The dimensions of the modules also remain at your discretion, I will only introduce you to the principle of model assembly. Under this scheme, you can collect all kinds of origami: airplanes, fighters - a video master class will help you in your work.

Step-by-step MK with photos

We begin work with the 1st row, consisting of 2 modules. In the next two rows we add 1 module, that is, in the 3rd row we have 4 modules:

The third row consists of 3 cells, and the 4th row is again from 4 corners.

We continue to compose the series, alternating the number of modules: 3-4.

Starting with the 11th row, narrow the airplane to 2 modules. And we move on to the formation of the fuselage.

The length of this part of the plane is also left to your discretion. Do not be afraid to show imagination, because modular origami gives you complete freedom of action.

Thus, we have smoothly switched to the formation of the tail of the aircraft. For better fixing I highly recommend using glue:

The photo shows that the modules are connected by nesting into each other. By the same principle, we need to make 2 wings. Each wing consists of 12 modules:

Now we need to fix the wings together with another module. It is also best to use glue here. In addition, the wings of the aircraft will be equipped with additional modules for attachment to the main body and chassis. To do this, we use pre-prepared smaller modules. We attach them to the wings with the help of pockets:

Since all flying planes have a chassis, we simply can not overlook this detail in our design. We put 3 modules into each other and connect them to the wings, as shown in the photo:

The finishing touches remain to complete our model of the aircraft from the modules. We attach the wings from the chassis to the fuselage of the aircraft with the help of glue. Control the gluing process so that the wings do not warp:

The last detail is the aircraft propeller, which is attached to the main part using a tailor's needle with a colored tip:

Congratulations! Here is such a masterpiece of modular origami we got:

I really hope that my assembly scheme helped you to master a new step in the art of origami.
