Sea Plane |
This is my favorite airplane for flying in a small space. The configuration is such that the harder you throw it the more it loops. The 3D.pdf was created using CATIA and Acrobat 3D. (Not the easiest way to do things.)

Cardboard RocketOk, So this isn't exactly Origami...
This is a model rocket for use with a standard A, B or C size rocket motor. It is entirely made of Railroad Board and Card Stock. The design was originally laid out using conventional drafting tools. Later, I also modeled it using CATIA, including Sheet Metal Flat Patterns. (A project while teaching at Rillos Engineering)

Origami Jet |
This is an expert level project. Symmetry is very important. The location of the Center of Gravity is the difference between a dart and a dud. There is a lot of room for creativity, as you can see from the crowded flight line to the left.
The instructions for this project are entirely freehand. The nice thing about that was I was able to work on them while I was away from my Computers.

Six Sided Snowflake
I have been working to perfect the six sided snowflake.
Accuracy in folding is not just a matter of being careful. This snowflake was the result of:
Accuracy in folding is not just a matter of being careful. This snowflake was the result of:
- Using a guide line for the 30 degree fold.
- Alternating the directions of the folds to make the same cut on each fold.
- The snowflake is larger than the parent sheet of paper.
- There is a yin/yang symmetry on each spike.
