Mathspigs. You won’t believe this.
Takuo Toda, a Japanese Engineer, broke the world record for the longest flight for a paper plane when his 10cm long plane stayed in the air for 27.9 seconds. But here is the most AMAAAAAZing news. According to The Telegraph (UK) #mce_temp_url# , ‘the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency announced that it would fund a three-year, 90 million yen ($A1.17 million ) study into the feasibility of launching paper darts from the International Space Station and, hopefully, recovering them when they return to Earth about a week later.’
So you can earn a living making paper planes. Lets do it. Make paper planes, that is. I’m not so sure about the money. When you do make someof these planes time how long they stay in the air…. maybe, just maybe, you might build a world record breaking paper plane.

However, this How to Make Paper Airplanes Website does have a free video on how to make the JFK- 188 Jetplane. This is probably enough for starters.
