The 27.6 Second Paper Airplane Flight

“October 8th, 1998 will be a date I long remember. On my 10th and last official throw I could tell it would be a long flight. A long silent moment after the plane landed the official time was announced - 27.6 seconds! Ever since he was ten years old, Ken Blackburn loved learning how to make paper airplanes. It went from interest, to hobby, all the way to passion as he perfected his favorite designs throughout his teen years. As a college student in ’83, he broke the paper airplane world record for the first time. Time aloft: 16.89 seconds.

Blackburn, a pleasant man with unique talent, went into the field of aerodynamic engineering. Finally, in 1998, after months of designing and physical training (I kid you not), Blackburn set the record that no one has touched so far: 27.6 seconds. So, you ask - What’s this guy’s secret, That’s what I wanted to know. I mean, I’m lucky if I get my plane to fly for over 5 seconds! The trick to long lasting flight, according to Blackburn, is to throw the paper airplane near vertically as fast as you can. Just to give you an idea of “how fast”, Blackburn throws his at 60 mph.

Then, the paper airplane has to glide down easy, and not dive as some have the tendency to do. In order to perform all this, you need to learn how to make paper airplanes that have a somewhat weighted nose, but that also glide very slowly. Lastly, it takes adjustments, and perseverance. Throw, make adjustment. Throw again, make another adjustment, etc. Blackburn made hundreds of practice throws before he went for the world record. By then, his planes were fine-tuned to perfection. As for me, I’ve been inspired to go outside and throw some more airplanes - I’ll let you know how long I can get them to stay in the air! My 2 favorite patterns (for the time being) are the EAGLE and the COBRA - but I’m always on the look-out for cool paper airplanes….

This tutorial shows you how to make the world's smallest paper airplane out of some plain white paper and pair of scissors. You can get four airplanes out of one sheet of paper. In this video, we learn how to make a simple paper airplane that flies far. First, fold the paper in half and make sure it's perfectly even. From here, unfold the paper and fold the edges into where the crease is. Watch this video as it gives easy instructions on how to make a mini paper airplane that flies far. Get a small piece of paper. Time to go to the grocery store to pick up more fresh produce!

When you really get what I've just shared and exude these nine traits, you will officially be in your man's head — and in his heart as well. That's because he will notice all the "logical" benefits of your wonderful traits right about the time his heart opens and "emotion" slowly enters the equation. Oh, and there's one other thing that gets a man to act in the captivation stage: his competitive nature won't tolerate losing the greatest woman he's ever met to another man. When you follow this as outlined, it all adds up to something magical.
