Howard Hughes built one from birch called the "Spruce Goose". That's not what you asked but just sayin'. If you could find the weight ratio of balsa vs birch you could make some assumptions.

Which airplane flies further a foam airplane balsa wood airplane cardboard or corrugated plastic?
We've found that the large foam gliders (4ft wingspan) fly the furtherst, but for airplanes that are all the same size, I think that balsa wood is the way to go.
Can an airplane fly with one wing and a propeller?
Usually not, but it would depend on the airplane, the pilot, and what you mean by "fly".
Can something made with wood fly?
yes. something made of wood can fly. for example, the wright brothers flew an airplane made of wood. it was the first object ever to fly.
Does an airplane made out of line paper fly farther than an airplane made out of printer paper?
This question is debatable. Lined paper is lighter, but that doesn't mean it flies better. I think that it's all about how you fold it and which design you choose. If one WA yto do an experiment, I would predict that lined paper would fly a little father, but not by much.
Will an airplane be lighter when birds fly inside the airplane than sitting floor?
No.No.No.No.

What is best wood for airplane wing construction?
it depends on if you are talking about a model that would just be for decoration, or an airplane that is a model or a real plane that is intended to fly, if it is meant to fly, then you can use anything strong and light really, and if it would just sit there, use anything you want. - - - - - Model airplanes are usually made from balsa. Full-size wooden airplanes are made from aircraft spruce.
What was the airplane invented to do?
it was first made to fly

What wood is used to make model aeroplane?
Generally, Balsa or Basswood would be used.Occasionally, Obeche is used, though it is much harder to find.ANS 2 If your aircraft is going to fly it would have to be made of balsa and tissue covered. All other woods are too heavy for flying models.
Why did they made airplane?
So People Could Fly In The Air
Can you fly on an airplane if you have pericarditis?
Can you fly on airplane with pericarditis
Would a paper airplane fly on the moon?
Yes, Yes it would
How is a civil airplane like An-140 made?
because they both fly
Can something made with wood fly?
yes. something made of wood can fly. for example, the wright brothers flew an airplane made of wood. it was the first object ever to fly.
If you made an airplane out of Balsa would it fly?
Yes. Even in quite modern times, jet fighters were made from plywood!! To have a good strength-to-weight ratio. And of course there was the giant 'Spruce Goose'. (Actually it was made of birch I'm informed, but who's counting). It was built of wood because of a wartime shortage of aluminum. This was built by the Howard Hughes company, and may have only flown the once. It still exists as a museum exhibit.
How would a paper airplane fly without wings?
It wouldn't. It would crash.
