The Whacky World of Paper Airplanes

45 minute presentation that includes learning to fold the world record plane.

Great for engineers or engineers at heart. Planes streak across the room, float gently, spin, tumble, stall, circle back, flap their wings, flip over and fly back upside down and some fly forever (actual forever may vary). The subtle science behind the fun is revealed in regular language, but feel free to get as technical as you like. John has been called the world's foremost expert on paper airplanes. After this talk, you'll know why.
