Flight distance of paper airplane Movie updated world record for the first time in nine years

ByLynda Giddens

Although it is a paper airplane that everyone can easily make, it is not good if it is just a thing just broken properly if you really think to fly for a long distance or a long time, you need to calculate exactly. A challenge was held on February 26 as to how far the paper airplane flew, but there was a world record of 226 feet 10 inches (about 69.14 m) established there.

A man holding a paper airplane on the right.


I threw it over and threw it.


The paper plane ramped up vigorously.


I will go up gradually.


And celebrating the highest point ... ...


Sharp descent.


I'm afraid I will get on the ground a little more.


...... In the place where it rises again.


And landing. Although a yellow line is drawn in front, apparently this was the previous world record, everyone is excited.



The man next door is more pleased than the man who threw it because he was in charge of designing paper airplanes.


Here is another angle picture. It was said that the challenge took place at a hanger of Frys.com, and it was shut down so as not to be influenced by the wind.


It is high, whether such a small paper airplane can fly this.


Since the previous record was 207 feet 4 inches (about 63.2 m) made by Stephen Kreiger in 2003, it means that the distance has been extended by 6 m.


Throwing was John Ayoob and design by John Collins. When the record is updated next, what is the design of the paper airplane, what angle and method are thrown similar? In the first place, I am also worried about whether the record can be extended any further ....


Incidentally, as a record of a paper airplane there is also a genre called "duration of flight", but hereJapan Origami Hikoki AssociationMr. Toda Takao's president made in 2009 is the world record.

The movie at the time of accomplishment is kore.

Looking from another angle like this, the paper plane thrown high draws a trajectory descending while slowly turning. Unlike the distance record we had to fly for a long time, so the flight speed is also slow.

Although I tried various folding methods which were different as children, even the site of Origami Hikoki Association also introduces varieties such as Squid Hikoki, Ikaros, and Flapping Seagull.
