Yesterday I’ve made a tutorial on how to draw a paper plane in Adobe Illustrator. I’ve got some messages from you (thank you for all messages!) about the tutorial of the paper plane but created with HTML and CSS.

So, yes it is possible. You can easily create a paper plane using CSS only. Follow the steps below and watch the video tutorial.
Demo:
Step1.
Add HTML
<div class="paperplane">
<div class="plane">
<div class="wingRight"></div>
<div class="wingLeft"></div>
<div class="bottom"></div>
<div class="top"></div>
<div class="middle"></div>
</div>
<div class="clouds">
<div class="cloudOne"></div>
<div class="cloudTwo"></div>
<div class="cloudThree"></div>
</div>
</div>
Step2.
Add CSS
Set the colour and position of the background and elements:
body {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
height: 100vh;
}
.paperplane {
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
width: 400px;
height: 400px;
background-color: #50befa;
border-radius:50%;
}
.plane {
position: absolute;
left:200px;
top:150px;
animation: move 3s linear infinite;
}
Style the paper plane:
.wingRight {
position: absolute;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 22.5px solid transparent;
border-right: 12.5px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 115px solid white;
transform: rotate(61deg);
z-index:4;
}
.bottom {
position: relative;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 12.5px solid transparent;
border-right: 12.5px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 25.5px solid #676d70;
top: 71px;
transform: rotate(-5deg);
left:-52.5px;
z-index:3;
}
.top {
position:absolute;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 10px solid transparent;
border-right: 10px solid transparent;
border-top: 30px solid #c1c7c9;
top: 65px;
transform: rotate(5deg);
left:-60px;
z-index:1;
}
.middle {
position: absolute;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 15px solid transparent;
border-right: 15px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 135px solid #c1c7c9;
top: -13.5px;
transform: rotate(72deg);
left:-7.5px;
z-index:2;
}
.wingLeft {
position: absolute;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 25px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 135px solid white;
transform: rotate(78deg) skewY(-35deg);
left:-18.5px;
z-index:3;
top:-30px;
}

Add some clouds:
.clouds {
position: absolute;
top:50px;
left:100px;
}
.cloudOne, .cloudTwo, .cloudThree {
position: absolute;
width: 50px;
height: 25px;
background-color: #fff;
border-radius:100px 100px 0 0;
}
.cloudOne {
top:0;
left:0;
animation: cloud 3s linear infinite reverse;
}
.cloudTwo {
top:50px;
left:100px;
animation: cloud 2.5s linear infinite reverse;
}
.cloudThree {
top:250px;
left:50px;
animation: cloud 2.8s linear infinite reverse;
}
.cloudOne:before, .cloudTwo:before, .cloudThree:before {
content:"";
position: absolute;
width: 25px;
height: 12.5px;
background-color: #fff;
border-radius:100px 100px 0 0;
left:-20px;
top:12.5px;
box-shadow: 65px 0 #fff;
}

Step3.
Add CSS Animation
For the paper plane:
@keyframes move {
0% {transform: translateY(0) rotateX(0);}
25% {transform: translateY(-30px) rotateX(40deg);}
50% {transform: rotateX(0) translateY(0);}
75% {transform: rotateX(-40deg) translateY(30px);}
100% {transform: rotateX(0) translateY(0);}
}
To move clouds:
@keyframes cloud {
from{
left:-150px;
}
to{
left: 400px;
}
}
