F-14 Tomcat
VF-84 Jolly Rogers
Build an easy paper jet model with your hands, some scissors,
two rules, some glue and a paper hole punch machine!
Check your handiwork skill !
Challenge a child to build it !
Assemble one as a gift for someone !
Collect the most famous jets in the world !
Once built, fly it !

Print on sheet 1 page 8, on sheet 2 page 9 and opposite 9, on sheet 3


page 10, on sheet 4 page 11 and on sheet 5 page12. Cut the pieces,
fold on the lines to give shape and paste with glue. The plane is
balanced and should fly with minor aerodynamic adjustments.
Whole process from assembly to flying is detailed in this document.

PaperAircrafts.com presents a flying paper-plane that attempts to


replicate as simple as possible the famous Grumman F-14 decorated
as VF-84 Jolly Rogers in the 70’s.

The F-14 is a twin engine, two seat, variable-sweep wing, carrier


based aircraft, designed to defend the fleet. First flew in 1970. Its
owners are the US Navy and the Iranian Air Force.
Enjoy !

! Note about Glue

Before start pasteing


the aircraft, check
your glue:
Spread some glue in
a sheet of paper and
wait some minutes. If
the paper gets
wrinkled or wavy,
then, that glue is not
valid for paper; the
aircraft would be
deformed.
Suitable glues could
be “transparent liquid
contact glue” usually
for repairing shoes.

Print pages 8, 9, 10, 11


and 12 in common paper
A4 or Regular Letter. Print
at scale 100% to avoid
parts distortion and using
option ”Auto-rotate and
center pages”. Do not “fit
to page” or “shrink to
page”.
Cut parts over the
external lines.

Fold over the lines with


the help of the rules to
obtain the shape of
each part.

Note that you can bend the paper


on the lines with the help of the
rules, (to the opposite side) and
after it, with your fingers, on the
same line, to the correct side to
obtain the final piece shape.

Paste parts puting glue in the overlaping surfaces.

X
Put little amount of glue. Otherwise, the aircraft
would look ugly and it would weight too much.

Note about printing Parts


Use either letter or DIN A4 formats. There are six pages with
parts to be printed on five sheets of paper. Page opposite 9
must be printed behind page 9 in order to the plane was
correctly decorated. Check option “Auto-rotate and center
pages” but do not “fit to page” or “shrink to page”. Print at
100% scale. You needn’t to print the rest of the document.
View it in the screen and zoom in when needed.

Page 11 Page 12 Sheet 5


Page 10 Sheet 3 Sheet 4

If you want to build a static model (not to fly) you could print on a high
quality paper in high resolution. But if you want a flying model it is better
to use normal paper printed in low resolution for saving weight and
avoiding wrinkling the paper with excess of ink.
80gr paper is perfect to fold and fly. As thicker is the paper as more
difficult to fold and heavier the plane to fly.

How to fly it
elevators rudders

Ailerons/flaps

1 Aerodynamic cleanness

Elevators and wing must be


parallel. If surfaces are bent,
force the paper with your
fingers trying to straighten
them. The aircraft could have
defects, but they must be


symmetrical.

X
29
www.PaperAircrafts.com

2 Aircraft balanced (wings opened)

Rest the aircraft on two fingers so that the wing’s forward


circles get positioned just over them. If it keeps levelled and
does not fall…it is balanced.

√ Ready to fly

If it falls forward, the nose is


too heavy. Put a load in the
tail.

If it falls backward, it needs more


weight in the nose. Did you paste
parts 40, 41 and 42 ? Paste a
piece of paper in the nose.

30
www.PaperAircrafts.com

3 Throwing It is easier to throw the


aircraft keeping it on the
sight line and impelling it
on his longitudinal axis.

throwing is well
trained, try to

4 Correcting the flight path: Pitch

If the aircraft pitchs down going to the ground, deflect upward gently
the elevators. Repeat the flight. If it keeps going down, deflect the
elevators upward a little more until the aircraft went straight gliding.

If the gliding path osciles like above…


the elevators may be too much deflected
upward. Reduce the elevators upward
deflection.

In this case the nose still needs a little


more weight. Cut a triangular piece of
paper and paste it in the nose

32
www.PaperAircrafts.com

+
If you achieve to stabilize the glide path but it is too inclined downward…
the nose may be too heavy. Try to remove part of piece 20 or put weight
in the tail and reduce the elevators upward deflection.

Correcting the flight path: direction

In order to correct the turn, deflect the ailerons asymmetricaly like each
picture shows but very gently. The deflection in the pictures is exaggerated;
you would obtain the opposite effect.
33
www.PaperAircrafts.com

In case of little corrections in direction, you can use the rudders.


Deflect them very gently.

Correct left turns deflecting Correct right turns


the rudders right deflecting the rudders left.

5 Advanced Flight
Once you have calibrated the glide path in pitch and direction, you
can try different aircraft performances.

“Cruise”: The aircraft will


pitch down, oppose
it, rising the
elevators a little.

Deflect down the


flaps a little. The aircraft will fly more smoothly

“Approach”:

Compensate the pitch


down, rising the
Deflect a little more elevators if needed.
the flaps.

The aircraft will fly slower.

34
www.PaperAircrafts.com

“Landing”

Compensate the
pitch down, rising
the elevators if
needed.

Deflect down the flaps significantly,


(both wings).

The aircraft will fly more slowly with a shorter glide path.

“Wings closed” Since this is an unpowered subsonic glider, you will


need to re-balance the airplane if you want to fly it
with wings closed.
It should stay on your fingers, positioned
below the backward circles, without falling.

In order to obtain that, you can fix four/five


stitching pins in the tail.

Backward circles

Apply throwing and path correction


the same way that already seen, but
you may left flaps up.
