Ken Blackburn is an aerospace engineer and four-time Guinness World Record holder for paper airplane time aloft (last record: 27.60 seconds). How he set the record:
Developed the World Record airplane at 13years old
Set record 4 times from 1983 to 1998
Key to doing better is more practice, work harder

Ken will REVEAL: THE SECRETS OF HOW TO MAKE A SUCCESSFUL WORLD RECORD AIRPLANE!
He'll also teach your listeners about the keys and tricks to paper airplanes fly successfully including:
LIFT:
Lift is from fast air over airfoil
Fast air comes from curvature and nose up at an angle
FLAPS / Controls
Paper airplane elevator keeps nose up at an angle
Wing Angle
Keeps plane from rolling over
FLAPS
Most important for low speed turns
Paper airplane rudder
Bend right to turn right, left to go left
BALANCE
Heaviest part forward
Wing moved aft
