How to fold the Harrier
The triangle folded up under its nose locks its folds and gives it great stability, says the Art of Manliness, along with its pointed wings.
- 1
Fold the top left corner to the middle.
- 2
And the other one.
- 3
Fold the top down like an envelope, leaving a little at the bottom.
- 4
The new corners to the middle; the point peeks out below.
- 5
And the other one.
- 6
Fold the little triangle up over them: that’s the lock.
- 7
Turn it over.
- 8
Fold it in half along the middle.
- 9
Fold the wing down, along the keel.
- 10
Turn it over.
- 11
And fold the other wing to match.

Open the wings out, level with the keel, and throw it gently, straight ahead.
Crease it sharp. Line the edges up exactly, then run a fingernail along each fold.
If it dives, bend the back edges of the wings up a little.
If the nose rises, then drops, it’s stalling: bend the back edges down a little.
