The Sky King
In early April, Takuo Toda, chairman of the Japan Origami
Airplane Association, set the world record for the longest
flight by a paper airplane: he bested the previous record
of 27.6 sec. by 0.3 sec. Toda's record-breaking design, called
the Sky King, was made from a single sheet of paper, with
no cuts and no gluing. He aspires to launch his planes one
day from space — and then retrieve them once they've
sailed to Earth.
