Looking for: Realistic Airplanes

Hi Kristofer,

Hank Simon kindly let me know about your post requesting diagrams for the Raptor. I haven't gotten around to cleaning up my original diagrams, but I have put them up on the web at

http://ece.olin.edu/bminch/origami.html

I am especially unhappy with the way that I originally depicted steps 45-47 and step 49. Hopefully, they will do for the time being.

As for the video, it appears to have disappeared from Google video. I'm not sure why. The last time I checked it was still up, but that was a few months back. I will look into putting it back up.

Regards,
Brad Minch.

Oh, nice! Thank you very much.

I should have noted that Aoki Ryo has designed many fine planes and vehicles--none of which I've folded (I tried one a long time ago). To be truthful, I'm not crazy about the way he diagrams things. It begins as a deceptively simple process, but suddenly he has you do multiple unmarked creases in one step to collapse the base. Annoying.

Nice, thank you very much! Very good depicted as well.

Re: Origami for the Connoisseur

I believe that you can find a Used copy on Amazon for less than $45 USD.

Also, Tower Books listed a copy for $15 USD. Note that the 1998 edition is not as rare as the first printing, but there should be no difference in the content. I have no experience with tower Books.

Re: Japanese Space Shuttle

Last year, I bought the book that has the diagrams for the Japanese Space Shuttle. Because it is in Japanese, it was not straightforward for me to buy.

Here is some pertinent info:
Paper Airplane, published in 2008, Author Toda Takuo, Language: Japanese
part of Japanese Origami Airplane Association

Here are various possible sources:

Original Web Page in Japanese: http://oriplane.com/ja/top.html

ISBN: 978-4-576-95204-8 About $20 USD from Kinokuniya Bookstores. Sasugabooks may be able to get it also...

Here is the Amazon.jp page: http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/switch-langu ... ge=en%5FJP

Here are some photos I just took of my plane. Ignore the white stand underneath in two of the photos. The plane flies nicely when adjusted correctly. It is folded from a rectangle, may have been A3 paper.

May someone post pictures on how to do steps 129-135 of marc kirchenbaum's biplane?

I've folded the biplane v.2 several times recently; it's pretty hard. The cowling folds are more or less left to your discretion. I've seen some models with fat, squared-off cowlings and others where the cowling is slimmer. If you contact me by e-mail, I'll send you a photo of my model.

I should put in a plug for my own work, Stationery Flight, which has lots of good-looking and flyable aircraft and lots of folding to boot.

Ermmm, I may have forgetten the name of the book, but as far as I remember it is called
Famous Aircraft in Origami- 18 realistic models
The book is by Chaquet Ulldemolins. I borrowed the book from my library and it was really a marvel. They were super-complex and looked like the real airplanes. They used advanced techniques like closed sinks and each plane comes with a beautiful color photo and a history of the plane. I doubt you can find a better aeroplane book than that.

It can be bought at amazon.com

If you're looking for realistic origami airplanes, I recommend Lee Jae Gu's models, which can be found on the design in origami website. The link to his photoblog and a few diagrams: http://blog.naver.com/jazz1862. These are the model kind and do not fly, but they are impressive, particuarly the su-37.

the f-22 by Aoki Ryo is a good plane, But I forget what book it's in. The Sr-71 by Kawasaki is another good one.
