Austria has hosted one of the worlds strangest and most innovative competitions in the world. It is called the World Paper-plane Flying Championship 2012. There were over 200 competitors, and as many as 600 qualifying rounds. Paper plane makers from all over the world were in attendance, including contenders from Turkey, Lebanon, Switzerland, and the United stakes.
Pilot Tomas Beck of Czechoslovakia won the long distance honors at the Red Bull Paper Wings World Finals – the distance covered was 50.37-meters. The world record is 63.19-meters.
Elie Chemaly of Lebanon bagged the honors for the longest flight time - it was 10.68-seconds. The world record is 27.9-seconds. WOW. My paper planes barley stay in the air for half a second. As far as the rules go, contestants must use size A-4 paper, without the use of any tools or adhesives. It takes people hourse to make these planes. Talk about devoted!

Current and new,
ReplyDeletesomething that is here,
something like this is due,
unheard of to the ear.
I rarely see a current events post that I am interested in, so I give this post a thumbs up (for more than just that).
While your current event is interesting, it sounds like a science experiment to me.
