There have been many attempts over the years to break the barriers of throwing a paper plane for the longest time aloft. Ken Blackburn held this Guinness World Record for 13 years (1983-1996) and had regained the record on October 1998 by keeping his paper plane aloft for 27.6 seconds (indoors). This was confirmed by Guinness officials and a CNN report.[2] The paper plane that Blackburn used in this record breaking attempt was a "glider".

If Cindy can build 40 paper airplanes in an hour and she builds 100 in three hours what was the length of her break?

A half hour. She builds 20 paper airplanes in a half hour. So in 2 1/2 hours she can build 100. She had a 30 minute break, if she worked without a break she would have made 120 paper planes.

By analyzing how different paper affects these outcomes, one can determine which material yields the best flying characteristics.


How many paper airplanes are there known to man?

There is no limit. There are books showing hundreds that have been made, but these show only a fraction of those known to date. Contests are held to develop paper airplanes to exceed limits previously achieved, so new ones are regularly made. No one can list the many millions of paper airplanes made to date.

How many paper airplanes are made every day?

Estimating the number of paper airplanes made every day is challenging due to the lack of comprehensive data, but it's reasonable to assume that millions are created worldwide. Many children and adults make paper airplanes for fun, educational purposes, or competitions, contributing to this high number. Various online resources and tutorials further encourage the crafting of paper airplanes, increasing their daily production. Overall, while an exact figure is elusive, the total likely reaches well into the millions.
