World’s Largest Paper Planes

Monday, 26th February 2007 by Alex

Well, unfortunately the world’s largest real paper planes aren’t usually kept outside, so today we’ll have to make do with sculptures of extremely large paper planes.

in Mukilteo, Washington, Dillion Works (who specialise in creating large 3D architectural elements), claim to have the world’s largest paper plane doubling as an awning over their front door (ground level shot).

Meanwhile in Germany, we find an equally huge, but slightly more adventurous paper plane, which has come to rest on the roof of Berlin’s Tegel airport.

So, does anybody know of any more huge paper planes lying around? :D

Thanks to me and Frank.
