About the Book

This book contains instructions and diagrams for you to fold sixteen interlocking and 3D paper airplanes. Eight of these airplanes have enclosed three-dimensional fuselage, with a hollow cavity, similar to real airplanes. These paper airplane designs and their folding concepts are all originals. They are probably amongst the most elegant and sophisticated paper airplanes you have ever seen.

Each of these Interlocking and 3D paper airplanes is made from an ordinary sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper, without any cutting or gluing. Using the breakthrough interlocking fold, wing fold and fuselage fold, you will be amazed at how an ordinary sheet of paper can be transformed into a tightly bound paper airplane with beautiful, and seemingly impossible, three-dimensional fuselage. These airplanes are also great gliders because of their streamlined shapes. It is very likely that you will find great joy in folding and flying these very special and unique interlocking and 3D paper airplanes.



About the Author

After graduating from McGill University in Montreal, Canada, Teong H Tan fulfilled his childhood dream of working in the aviation industries when he accepted a job offer from Singapore Airlines, in 1985, as an aircraft power plant engineer.

In 1994, he left Singapore and found work with Pratt & Whitney as a Customer Field Service Representative. He has since provided technical support to more than ten different airlines in South East Asia and China.

It was during his assignment in Shanghai, from 1999-2003, that he became interested in paper airplane folding. It all started one day, when his 4 year-old son, Kevin, asked him to fold a paper concorde airplane.

Teong H Tan's desire to make a better paper airplane eventually pushed him beyond the conventional method of paper airplane folding. With his aviation background, Teong H Tan realized that a tightly bound and rigid fuselage is the key to a better looking and better performing paper airplane. This realization led him to create a whole new and exciting line of realistic looking Interlocking and 3D paper airplanes.

Teong H Tan now enjoys folding and flying his very own fleet of Interlocking and 3D paper airplanes when he not working with real airplanes.
