Sky King ( World Record) Paper Airplane 3D Folding

The "Sky King" paper airplane is not a well-known world record holder, at least up until my last knowledge update in September 2021. It's possible that a new world record may have been set since then, or the "Sky King" may refer to a specific design that gained recognition after my last update.

However, I can provide a general description of how to fold a high-performance paper airplane, which might be similar to what you're looking for in terms of a world record design.

Materials Needed:

A sheet of standard letter-sized paper (8.5 x 11 inches)
Instructions:

Start with the Paper: Use a clean, crisp sheet of paper. If the paper is too old or wrinkled, it may not fly well.

Fold in Half: Lay the paper in front of you horizontally (landscape orientation). Fold it in half lengthwise, matching the short edges together. Crease the fold well and unfold it.

Fold the Top Corners: Bring the top edge of the paper down to meet the center crease, forming a triangle at the top. Repeat this for the other side, so that the top of the paper now resembles an arrow.

Fold the Triangle Down: Fold the triangular section you created in the previous step down so that it covers the bottom of the paper. This will form the wings of your paper airplane.

Create the Wings: Fold the wings down so that the top edge aligns with the bottom edge of the paper. This step will give your paper airplane its wing shape. Make sure both wings are folded evenly.

Fold the Wings Up: Fold the wings back up along the existing creases. The wings should be angled slightly upward. This will help your paper airplane gain lift.

Fold the Paper in Half: Fold the entire paper in half along the center crease. This will create the body of the airplane.

Fold the Tail: Fold the bottom section of the paper upward, aligning it with the bottom edge of the wings. This creates the tail of the airplane.

Adjust the Wings: Carefully adjust the wings to make sure they are level and symmetrical. This will help your paper airplane fly straight.

Final Touches: Make any necessary adjustments to ensure the paper airplane is balanced and symmetrical. Ensure that the folds are crisp and well-defined.

Now, your paper airplane is ready to fly! Hold it by the body, give it a gentle toss, and see how far it can go. If you're aiming for world-record distances, you may need to experiment with different designs and techniques to optimize performance. Keep in mind that achieving a world record in paper airplane flight often requires careful engineering and testing.
