1
Place the 8 1/2-by-11-inch piece of paper on a flat work surface. Turn the paper so the 11-inch edge is on the horizontal axis. Match the top and bottom 11-inch edges. Crease along the fold.

Keep the paper folded. Measure and cut a triangle on the center of the right edge that is 1 1/2 inches tall and 2 inches wide. This forms the shape of the stealth's wing portion. This step may be left out, if desired.

3
Unfold the paper. Fold the top left corner and bottom left corner to the center vertical line to form two triangles. Crease along the folds. Keep the creases folded.
-
4
Fold the triangle point on the left approximately 4 inches to the right. The fold is created along the bottom edge of the two folded triangles. Crease along the fold and keep the crease folded.
-
5
Fold the top left corner and bottom left corner to the center vertical line to form two triangles. Crease along the fold. This creates three layers of paper at the front tip of the stealth jet. Keep all creases folded.
-
6
Flip the paper over so all folds are on the back. Fold the paper in half along the horizontal fold line. Crease along the fold and keep the crease folded.
-
7
Fold the top layer of paper up and fold 1/2 inch below the horizontal fold line. Crease along the fold and keep the crease folded. This creates a 1/2-inch body for the stealth jet. Flip the jet over and repeat this step.

8
Adjust the wings so they are at a 90-degree angle to the stealth body.

Tips & Warnings
Adjustments to the stealth fold will ensure the jet flies well to complete your bidding. Adjust the wings up if the stealth dives when in flight. Angle the wings down if it climbs and crashes.
