Nerdy science channel Steve Spangler Science shows how to make a paper airplane hover in midair. By simply having identical fans blowing opposite directions, the plane literally floats in midair as it fights the opposing forces.
Published at the start of the weekend, this video by the PIMA Air & Space Museum already has over half a million hits. The museum conducted the building and launching of the 45-foot paper airplane that successfully flew! The video is featured on TheAwesomer and RawStory.
CNN also covered the story:
ThePaperAirplaneGuy brings us this special world record paper airplane throw that already has over 800,000 views in just three days. Joe Ayoob broke the record for paper airplane distance with his 226 feet, 10 inches far throw.
Three buddies on the roof of a building folded up some paper airplanes and held a paper airplane toss. I don’t know what they were racing for, but one kid definitely won. While the first two planes hit the ground rather quickly, the last slowly circled around and around, until perfectly landing into the mailbox. What are the odds?
