Current Events- The Largest Ever, Paper Airplane Takes Flight

The World's Largest Paper Airplane was constructed by a 12 year old named Arturo Valdenegro. His designed on this paper airplane was so amazing the it will be added to the Pima Air and Space Museum. Arturo's plane took flight in Tucson, Arizona, in an unmentioned desert. This fantastic event took place on March 26, 2012. Arturo constructed this plane because he wanted to break a World Record.


My feelings on this article is that this airplane will make a great new exhibit in the Pima Air and Space Museum. Arturo's plane weighted 800 pounds and was 45 feet long. What amazed me that a 12 year old can construct the World Largest Paper Airplane, and that it actually took flight.
