The “Abhishek Orbiter” looks like it is headed for space. This design plane was shown to me by Abhishek, check out Abhishek’s YouTube channel.

Folding Instructions
- Fold along line 1 – 6 so that the line is on the outside of the fold
- Line 1 – 6 is a “special” line and has more steps than any of standard fold lines
- Fold along lines 2 so that the line is on the inside of the fold,
- It is easier to fold it so that the line is on the outside of the fold first then flip the direction of the fold
- For the 2nd line 2 line up the edges of the paper so that both sides fare symmetric
- Fold along lines 3 so that the line is on the outside of the fold
- Unfold line 1 – 6
- Fold lines 4, the line is on the outside of the fold, this forms the canards at the front of the plane
- Fold line 5, so that the line is on the inside of the fold, this folds the nose down
- Fold line 1 – 6 this time reverse the direction, that is the line is on the inside fold
- Fold lines 7 so that the line is on the outside of the fold, this forms the wings
- Fold along lines 8 & 9 both at 90o, this bends the canards up and forms the vertical stabilizers
- Give the back of the plane a bit of a pinch up to give it a bit of an elevator effect
- Finally and optionally put a paper clip near the nose of the plane
