At Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, the planes weigh about 700,000 pounds each!

But you can make your own planes at home that are light as a feather... Paper airplanes!

We've picked four of the coolest paper airplanes ever for you to make. Just grab some normal typing paper, tape and a few paperclips, then click on the planes below for easy instructions with pictures.



Later on, we'll have new planes for you to make, so come back soon!

1. Fold carefully, and run your finger over each fold to make sure it's really creased.

2. When you throw your plane, use your elbow instead of flicking your wrists.

3.
Tilt the nose of your plane down just a little bit instead of throwing it up or straight ahead.
