A new study explores what happens if a paper airplane is launched from the ISS, finding it would quickly decay and burn up in Earth's atmosphere within about 3.5 days, and suggesting such disposable objects could be used for low-cost atmospheric measurements and space debris management.
A study explores what happens if a paper airplane is thrown from the International Space Station, using simulations and wind tunnel tests to analyze its flight and reentry behavior, concluding it would likely burn up upon atmospheric entry due to aerodynamic forces and heat.
To celebrate the launch of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on the Switch, Nintendo partnered with paper airplane expert John Collins to create a themed paper airplane. Fans can download a free template and follow Collins' step-by-step video to make their own. The Switch version of the game features upgraded visuals, new features, and a reorchestrated score.
Nintendo has partnered with paper airplane expert John Collins to celebrate the launch of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on the Nintendo Switch. Collins has created a special themed paper airplane and a tutorial video. The game, originally released on the GameCube, features upgraded visuals, new features, and a reorchestrated score.
Two Boeing engineers, Dillon Ruble and Garrett Jensen, with the help of Nathaniel Erickson, set a Guinness World Record for the farthest flight by a paper airplane, after making one that flew 289 feet 9 inches, almost the entire length of a football field. The engineers studied aerospace, mechanical engineering, origami, and aerodynamics while designing their plane, and spent 400 to 500 hours building and testing prototypes. Their design was inspired by hypersonic aerospace vehicles, and they found the optimal angle to be about 40 degrees off the ground. The previous record was 252 feet 7 inches.
Two Boeing engineers, Dillon Ruble and Garrett Jensen, have set a Guinness World Record for the farthest flight by a paper airplane, after their design flew 289 feet 9 inches, almost the entire length of a football field. The engineers, who studied aerospace and mechanical engineering together at Missouri University of Science and Technology, spent 400 to 500 hours building and testing prototypes, and drew inspiration from hypersonic aerospace vehicles, origami, and aerodynamics. Their design is unique and optimal at a 40-degree angle off the ground.
Three Boeing engineers, recent graduates of Missouri University of Science and Technology, have broken the world record for the farthest flight by a paper airplane, with a distance of 289 feet, 9 inches (88 meters). The team spent months studying origami and aerodynamics to create and test multiple prototypes, and their winning design, named "Mach 5," focused on speed and minimized drag. The team hopes their accomplishment will inspire other young and aspiring aerospace engineers to chase their dreams.
