In brief

Fold a paper airplane designed to stay airborne for as long as possible—ideal for contests or just impressing friends. The creator explains how Ken Blackburn’s record-holding design achieves maximum hang time by maximizing altitude before gliding, and it’s built for indoor use where wind isn’t a factor.

Questions & answers

Is this design better for distance or speed?

No—it’s optimized for time in the air, not distance or speed.

Description from the creator

This video updated, youtu.be/AqyG9tkIsyI

This paper airplane was designed and flown by "KEN BLACKBURN" and holds the 1998 Guinness world records for longest flight time at 27.6 seconds. This was archived in a football stadium in the "Georgia Dome" in Atlanta Georgia. Because this was done in an indoors stadium he did not have to compete with the wind or other weather conditions. The paper airplane was thrown straight up to gain as much altitude as possible so that it would have more time to glide down.
This paper airplane was designed to have a long hang time, not for speed or distance. (I have videos on this kinds of paper airplanes also.)
This is the airplane that could win you a paper airplane contest if its for "longest time in the air".
