WOW! This brought back a great memory, when the pager airplane, was my first introduction by my father, to model aircraft and aviation during the early 1970s when I was a small child. And my overall passion for model and full side aircraft still presently lives with in me today and always! And someday, I hope to get a real opportunity to share my original model aircraft designs that are not paper airplane, lol, for all to enjoy as well.
I have been a fan for years and I am glad that you participate in these STEM events. You guys help promote a culture of learning that is so vital and needed. Thank you for everything that you guys do.
Hearing the distance and the record breaking time made me chuckle. As a kid my brothers, some friends and I were making and flying paper airplanes and someone threw one that kept catching updrafts or gusts of wind which kept it aloft. We chased that thing hundreds of meters down the street and we finally gave up and never actually saw it land. It was heading into some trees so I don't think it made it much farther.
I hope you were able to spend time doing a show about the museum itself too. AWESOME place! I am lucky to be less than an hour away and visit several times a year.
I'm pretty sure I hold the " unofficial" world's record paper airplane flight time. Believe it or not I flew a paper airplane out of my hospital room on the 13th floor of Grady Hospital in Atlanta GA. The conditions must have been perfect with hot air rising from the street below and high level winds at that height because the plane flew for over 2.5 hours without ever landing on a ledge or anything. But more remarkable was that the plane momentarily flew around the corner of the hospital and I lost sight of it but 15 or 20 minutes later I saw that it was still flying and by then it was out over near by I 75 where it continued flying until I could no longer see it as it had crossed the interstate and was just a speck still visible out over Memorial Drive. When it finally got so far away that it could not be seen any longer it had been in the air over 3.5 hours. I think it was a gift from God to entertain a boy who was spending a week in the hospital after a bicycle accident. And although I don't remember their names there were 3 other witnesses to this momentous flight. The other 3 boys who were in the same hospital ward as I was. PS...this was a long time ago but I still remember it like it was yesterday.
When I was a kid I folded the perfect airtime paper plane. I only flew it a couple times before it had the absolute most amazing paper airplane flight I have ever seen in person. I threw it up like this guy but in the middle of my street. It caught an updraft and did several large circles while losing almost no height at all. Simultaneously my neighbor was leaving their house. They had enough time to walk to their car, start it and drive away...just in time for my precious perfect part plane to land in the back of their pickup, never to be seen again 😓
That would make me nervous! Different pressures, air currents, even lighting. Pitch high into cooler air and catch as much heat from lighting as I can? Or is there more cool lower? Hope to catch a thermal from camera lighting? My Grandma still not reading my texts correctly and texting back.."you'll shoot your eye out"? Me shrugging her text off with a chuckle and then embarrassed, having to explain to everyone that it's not as bad as it looks? And the bandage should come off in a week, because Grandma was right and apparently understood my text way more than I gave her credit for? So many variables!
lol...Redbull. Craziest mountain bike courses and tricks, baha racing 2000 horsepower buggies, wingsuit flying down a mountainside, racing cigar boats at 100 mph....... and of course, death defyingly throwing paper planes in a warehouse. hahaha !! One of these things is not like the others...
But at least one of them is accessible to normal, sane human beings. Nothing wrong with the other events...but it isn't the average person flying down mountainsides in a wingsuit. lol
@@peckenstein hahaha !! Yeah, I prefer feet on the ground. I just thought it's a little funny, because Red Bull sponsors all the extreme sports that the average person would never attempt....and then there's paper planes. lmao. Scary stuff. :P :P
Red Bull loves flight in general, and has sponsored everything that pushes the limits of flight from air racing, to stratospheric parachute jumps, to Flugtag where you build something and try to glide it off a dock (mostly for the laughs). This contest is more along the lines of Flugtag, something everyone can participate in but still with the goal of setting records and breaking boundaries.
@@eulachonfish Yes I know. I also knew what flugtag is. It's like if Nitro Circus decided to hold a chess match. It just doesn't mesh with the rest. I'm sure they play chess once in a while, but after seeing a triple backflip on a motorcycle, chess seems less than exciting.
In the UK round, Yicheng Sun, of De Montfort University, won in the distance category, launching his paper plane 158ft. But the longest air time, by Billy Smith from Sheffield Hallam University, was only 7.74 seconds.
Got a chance to go to the museum last December. It’s like fantasy land for airplane nuts. Let’s also not forget that you didn’t take pictures and video of just any B-17. That’s the famed “Memphis Belle”.
not related to this video, but I have a cool idea for a plane. A large aircraft with hatches on the bottom, and in the hatches there could be boxes that hold onto small quads or planes. Mid-flight, the planes being carried could turn on their motors, and then be dropped out. I know this would probably be very difficult to make, but it was a cool idea I wanted to share.
My gods, i could have sworn the world-record breaker's plane looked alive; like a falcon, circling its prey (aka the rest of the competition💁🏽♀️😂) with how its flight path spiraled on the way down💁🏽♀️😳 I can't even imagine how amazing it must have been to see in person cuz as a woman i can tell you; 14 seconds of 'performance' doesnt seem like a long time, but when you think about how said performance is coming from an inanimate object, a girl can't help but be a lil impressed 💁🏽♀️😉🤣🤣🤣
Growing up in Miami, I one time threw a paper airplane that the wind caught it just right- and it was up in the air for 10 seconds. I wish someone was there to see it. Is there are world record for length of flight for a paper airplane flown outside?
I think that would be hard to keep even remotely fair. Wind speed, direction, temperatures, ground features and trees and buildings disturbing the wind are all things that can influence how the paper plane will fly. When competing inside you get rid of a lot of these. Instead the problem is finding a venue large enough to support both the range and time events.
Hey FliteTest, How about putting up a link for the design to build those winning paper airplanes so people can build them and have fun flying them with their children? Namaste.
redbull rule ruins the record on especially the hangtime. many korean kids can throw their a4 gliders more than 15s. because they are using square deaigned 80gsm paper plane for hangtime.
Hi guys, just saw a demo of a nazi rocket engine ...cool enough running to be 3d printed ...now if only someone could build a airframe ...hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate... well it is a crazy challenge, your up to the task, and potassium is good for the grass ... Invision if you would a green camo plane launched from a break away undercarriage, with a cool stream of purple exhaust spewing from the back . Take care.
There should be a 3 plane build requirement to prove a design and skill and to discount luck. I mean, the winner should be able to explain his winning.

Well that's a little different... 😏
...what an incredible event! Love it!!
Soo glad you were able to visit for this!!! Awesome job WOW!!!

hey i've been waiting for this upload! i was there, it was great to hear your speech!
Thanks brother! It was such a great time and a honor to meet everyone of you. :)

I thank you for sharing the info of Paper Airplanes, quit amazing, spectacular and a large happy smile....... :)
Bummed... I live here and didn't learn of this event until your video.
It's so nice to see how far you got from the flying microwave to today.
I remember those days. Master Series planes were unimaginable back then.
@@GunganWorks yeah, they made everything fly, even a big rock. That was awesome. Hope they will bring something like that again
3:46 The "stilletto airplane" is wicked cool! Is there a link for the plans to make that plane????
Idk but that was really cool
Ngl you've inspired me when i was a kid to make my first cardboard plane so yea thanks guys

14 seconds! 👍👍🛩Impressive.
I was down at the Dayton air museum just a few weeks ago
Bravo!
that was awesome!
It was a pleasure to meet you guys!
What is an honor to meet you brother. Congratulations on placing as well! Hope I get to hang out with you all again :-)
I love everything with rc/paper planes
Excellent!
That’s insane!
I was wondering why so many people were over there. I live 5 minutes away from WPAFB that houses the museum
Dayton is my neck of the woods!
How many crazy contests does Red Bull sponsor?!?!
As many as possible but tell me they're going to miss out on a crazy flying competition when "Red Bull gives you wings!!!'.
Super cool.
Hey flitetest what if you tried to build a F-14 tomcat after your b-17 build if you haven't already.
Wow that was pretty dang cool 😎

Anytime I hear paper airplane I immediately think John Collins.
This looks awesome
Awesome!
Love your videos! Keep making quality content, I'll see you at flitefest 2022 next year!
You meant 2023?
2022 and hopefully onward!
FF2022 hasn't occurred yet
To my long deceased sixth grade teacher, Mr. York.
Hey there Mr. York! It's me, Ron, the kid you chewed out for making paper airplanes. ✈ 🛩 🛬 💺 🛫
i wish you would add announcement about events like This to the end of the videos and put a link in a pinned comment on how to join the event.

@@blahorgaslisk7763 I understand that. It was still cool that my plane stayed up there for that amount of time. :)
I have a relative whose bomber jacket is at that museum.
That is awesom
Hey FliteTest,
How about putting up a link for the design to build those winning paper airplanes so people can build them and have fun flying them with their children?
Namaste.
I have made probably 1500 paperplanes in my life and I'm a teenager
Next!
Nice to see normal, happy teenagers for once.
If they're uncommon they aren't particularly 'normal'.
Who has made a paper airplane after watching? As a kid I perfected the paper airplane, I have to see if I remember how to fold it.
Yaaaay
I like to count the number of “actual” and “actually”s I can actually tally when Stefan actually speaks…
Joli
me and my dad are making a piper cub rn
nerd'n to the max :)
This vid didn't show up in my subfeed at all, how odd - also measuring in Inches.. so painful lol
Foldable flight?
I had a paper airplane get caught in a thermal when I was in 5th grade, it was circling and climbing for about 3 minutes.
foldable fight 6:06
Самый лучший канал.
Ken Blackburn's paper airplane flew longer in the late 90's... World record??
I could easily beat that distance throw, I can throw pretty damn fast, and I make a mean dart. Fund me flite test? Haha
Save the world 🌍🌍🌍🌍
They should make a b24 liberator
I am going to flitefest this year
How about a C-5 Galaxy?
Wish I had a nickel for every paper plane I folded 😎👍
Make a foam board helicopter like an Apache attack helicopter
That no world record have you no seen the England football game a paper plane flys for at 40/50 seconds and hits a player
I thought the record time aloft was around 28 seconds.
Different size paper iholds different records. This competition was with 8.5x11. :)
Actually, it was with A4, the international paper size.
Oooooooooooooooooopppppppppppppppp you are guys
redbull rule ruins the record on especially the hangtime. many korean kids can throw their a4 gliders more than 15s. because they are using square deaigned 80gsm paper plane for hangtime.

Ridiculous.
The _proof_ is the time or distance. Duh

Awesome!
