45-foot paper airplane glides over Arizona desert

 

The plane, dubbed Arturo’s Desert Eagle, was 45 feet long with a 24-foot wingspan and weighed in at a whopping 800 pounds.

 

It was built as part of the museum's Giant Paper Airplane Project, designed to get kids psyched about aviation and engineering.

 

After a few false starts, the plane was towed into the sky above the Sonoran desert on Wednesday afternoon by a Sikorsky S58T helicopter.
