John Collins, also known as 'The Paper Airplane Guy,' teaches us how to fold and fly our very own version of his "world record" paper airplane. John attempts to make the greatest paper airplane on the planet, and takes us along for the ride.

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.

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.

This is all SO wonderful. I have one question, please: Is the application of tape on the paper plane accepted by Guinness? It doesn't have to be 100% pure paper, with nothing added? I was under the impression that using tape is not allowed. Thank you very much for bringing us this video. Best wishes.

@camdix3250 2 жыл бұрын

I found the answer to my own question on another of Mr. Collins' KZfaq videos. The answer is YES. One, very small piece of tape, of specific dimensions, is allowed by Guinness. Mr. Collins cuts this piece into several thin strips which are used to help anchor some of the folds for the "Suzanne" plane. He is a brilliant paper folder and paper plane designer. He is also one fantastic teacher and a pleasure to see and listen to.
