Children
love making paper airplanes. They make airplanes
using newspapers or smaller pieces of paper. Do you think paper airplanes
can fly in the sky like real planes? It may seem
impossible, but it recently
happened in America.
On March 21, a huge paper airplane soared high into the sky!
In fact, it is the largest
paper airplane in the world. How big is it? Very! It is 13.7 meters
long! It has a wingspan of 7.3 meters and
weighs 363 kilograms.
The
huge paper airplane flew in the skies over the Sonora Desert in Arizona.
It was able to reach speeds of up to 160 kmh. It flew in
the sky for about 10 seconds before landing. Surprisingly, the design
of the huge paper plane was created by a 12-year-old boy!
The amazing boy¡¯s name is Arturo Valdenegro. The world¡¯s largest paper
plane is called ¡°Arturo¡¯s Desert Eagle.¡± It was created by engineers and aircraft experts, based on Arturo¡¯s design.
Great job, Arturo! |
