Want to make an awesome paper rocket? This paper rocket is based on actual NASA blueprints, and will really fly. With a few simple materials and a little handiwork, you’ll be able to blast off into infinity and beyond in no time!
Draw a circle on paper, cut it out, and roll it up to create a tight cylinder. Secure the cylinder with tape.
Draw a 5 in × 5 in (13 cm × 13 cm) square and cut it out. Roll the square up to make a larger cylinder and seal the seam with tape.
Cut out 2 small triangles and tape them to the larger cylinder.
Draw a circle on your paper.
You’ll use this to form the rocket’s nose cone. A streamlined and pointy nose cone will really increase your paper rocket's aerodynamics.
Place your plastic cup on a clean area of the paper, bottom side down.
Trace around the bottom to make a perfect circle.
Make a small dot in the center of the circle.
Draw a small triangle with the tip ending at the circle. It should look like a slice of pie that is about 1/8th the size of the circle.
Draw a 5x5 inch square.
This will be as the body for your rocket. It's best to use regular 8x11 computer printer paper. Start at the left side of your paper and make a dot at the 5-inch mark. Next, measure 5 inches (12.7 cm) from the top of the paper and make a mark there.
Draw lines to connect these points and form a square in the top left corner.
Take your time, there’s no rush.
You want your rocket body to be sleek and clean, so
try to cut true to the lines
Drawing a pair of 2x1 inch triangles.
To draw a triangle, all you have to do is draw a 2 inch (5.1 cm) vertical with your ruler, and then a 1-inch horizontal line from its base, and connect the opposite ends with a diagonal line.
You might want to use a smaller pair of scissors for this part.
Tape one your triangles to the cylinder body.
Putting wings on your rocket will make it more aerodynamic and able to cut through the air better, fly faster, and go further.
You want the shortest part of your triangle to be at the base of the cylinder, with the tall vertical part running up the cylinder’s body.
Take your plastic drinking straw and insert it into the open end of your rocket.
Be careful not to point your rocket at anybody, and especially not anyone’s face. Instead, make a target and aim for that. How to Make a Target
Take a deep breath in and exhale quickly and forcefully through the straw.
Watch as your homemade paper rocket blasts through the air.
What will happen if I use cardboard instead of paper?
It most likely won't work because it will be too heavy and you can't round it using the pencil. So try to use paper.
