Paper Airplane World Record
John Collins, The Paper Airplane Guy, Guinness World Record Holder teaches you how to make and fly his world record paper airplane. See planes circle back, flip over and fly back upside down, flap their wings, spin, tumble, and ride waves of air-- seemingly forever (actual forever may vary).
John has appeared on Conan, Nat Geo, CNN, Disney, Hallmark, Discovery, Ripley's Believe It Or Not, and many more television outlets. He is an award winning keynote speaker as well as Ted Talk participant. John has spoken at Google Zeitgeist, WIRED 25, SalesForce, Harvard's Graduate School of Design, Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, as well as prestigious companies: Sony, Mattel, Genentech, Intuit, Scaled Composites, United Airlines, and Boeing.
John's world record paper airplane will soon be displayed in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington DC.
