How Engineering Students in Pisa Built the World’s Largest Paper Airplane
SMRTR summary
Engineering students from the University of Pisa broke the Guinness World Record for the largest paper airplane ever built and flown. Their aircraft, ICARUS, spans 20.04 meters wingtip to wingtip, weighs 28.49 kilograms, and flew 59 meters — more than triple the previous record set in 2013. Built entirely from paper and glue using a honeycomb layering technique, the plane was launched from a three-meter platform by 15 students working completely by hand.
