This airplane is not very complicated as paper airplanes go, but still produces nice gliding flights.

Fold your rectangular paper down the middle, then unfold to create a crease. 

Next, fold the top corners into the middle:

From Ed of Sudbury " This is my Origami paper plane. It is really 2 papers, both not glued, but just on eachother, making good weight for balancing. It's back has two flaps, to make it go up, and it also has 2 on the bottem, (which is not shown) which are ones that make the plane go down, during flight.

It is my best airplane, that I've kept for a couple months, becuase my first 15 tests, were a great flight, and it hovered the greatest! Wish I could of sent a video of its flight!"
