The world record for the farthest flight by paper airplane has been broken by three aerospace engineers with a paper aircraft that flew nearly the length of an American football field.
It’s a bird… It’s a plane… It’s a paper airplane! The world record for the farthest flight by paper airplane has been broken by three aerospace engineers with a paper aircraft that flew a grand total of 289 feet, 9 inches , nearly the length of an American football field. They beat the previous record of 252 feet, 7 inches achieved on April 2022 by a trio in South Korea. Prior to that, the record had not been broken in over a decade.
” To find the best technique when it came to throwing the paper airplane, the team ran various simulations and analyzed slow-motion videos of their previous throws. “We found the optimal angle is about 40 degrees off the ground. Once you’re aiming that high, you throw as hard as possible. That gives us our best distance,” Jensen said in the statement. “It took simulations to figure that out. I didn’t think we could get useful data from a simulation on a paper airplane. Turns out, we could.
