How to Make: The Hurricane

The Hurricane

this plane is a very mysterious flying object that just soars through the air like nothing you've every seen before. as seen in the throw chart on the picture below, it is one of the only planes that flies in a straight line and it is very predictable unlike some of the other planes in this book. The Hurricane is one of the easiest planes to fold but it definitely gives some of the best results.

 Step 1: fold in half the long way

Step 2: fold one side to the vertical crease

Step 3: fold it once more to the center, then roll the fold over and crease once more

Step 4: curve the paper on the edge of the table by holding both sides and "pull the paper across an edge to make it curl"

Final Step: insert the folded part behind the other folded part to create the ring looking effect

The way you throw the projectile is slightly different than they way you throw any other plane. there are two ways to throw it, like a football or flicking your wrist downward. I found that flicking your wrist downward creates more power and causes it to go farther and it floats better.
