The paper airplane folding tips can hover nearly 70m

Designer John Collins, who set a world record for the 69-meter-longest paper-jet flying machine in 2012, recently shared his flight-plotting trick in a video.

Designer John Collins, who set a world record for the 69-meter-longest flying paper airplane in 2012, recently shared a "secret" of folding his plane in a video.

Collins created 75 different types of paper airplane folding. Now he is still searching for new ideas to create a paper airplane that can break his own record of 69m flight distance.

Watch the video below and try it out, with your ingenuity and creativity, you can create a perfect paper airplane that can break Collins's record.

During a recent visit to Harvard University, USA, Collins revealed the secret to being able to fold a perfect paper airplane that is material and folding.

According to Collins, when folding paper planes, attention should be paid to factors such as focus, gravity, slip coefficient or boundary layer. In order for aircraft to fly better, folds must be added in certain locations to change the focus of the aircraft. In addition, some minor adjustments in the rear wing can also prevent the plane from being wished to the ground.
