can glide through the air.<\/p>\n<p>However, Pima Air and Space Museum in Tuscon, Arizona, has taken it to a whole new level with their 45 ft attempt.<\/p>\n<p>Dubbed Arturo's Desert Eagle, the plane weighs 363 kg and had to be hoisted into the air before the wind could take it.<\/p>\n<p>Yvonne Morris, executive director of the museum, said after it undertook its maiden journey: &quot;The arresting visual of the paper airplane in flight rekindled the childhood creativity in all of us.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>It nearly reached the 100 mph mark and stayed airborne for the best part of one minute, which is pretty impressive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Although I'm sure there are plenty of kids out there who reckon they could design something a bit more advanced if they had the time.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Mark
