John attempts to make the greatest paper airplane on the planet, and takes us along for the ride. Can’t get enough? Watch John go in-depth on this airplane and…

It would seem that there is nothing difficult to make the airplane, but it is the same whole art.

An easier plane would’ve done the job, I don’t think an elementary school kid would have enough precision

Fun fact, the ratio of the sides of an A4 sheet of paper (in fact all A* sizes) is 1:√2. Fold a short edge down to a long edge, the hypotenuse (the length of the crease) is same length as a long edge (which can be checked by folding the crease down to the long edge.

Surely there must be some kind of kapton/kevlar/carbon super tape that is microns thin and super strong/sticky – put on with a microscope that would save a few nanograms of weight and be a better “world record” paper airplane….

I started making the first airplanes when I was 7 years old, we called them doves. And for 10 years I saw in a magazine how to make a biplane out of paper. It turned out great. I began to come up with my own options. After then the whole yard was launching airplanes. It was so much fun. Now, 40 years later, I was surprised that people in our computer age continue to build paper airplanes. Now I also use a computer to teach other people how to build model airplanes.

I think I’d really like to see the same guy go somewhere with the plane and throw it, maybe cheer it on. Might just be a missing father issue but I feel like I’m missing the conclusion everytime I watch one of those videos.

I can never make this kind of plane solely by the fact my hands sweat easily. I’ll make the paper damp when doing creases and ruin the plane.
