And it actually flies! Now you should try throwing one of these in the classroom (do kids still do that?)

Art Thompson led the design and building of the 45-foot long, 800-pound paper airplane named “Arturo’s Desert Eagle.” The Arizona Daily Start reports that the team ran into snags when it came to getting off the ground, which is essential for flying a paper airplane, but eventually had a successful test flight.
