World records 20235/20/2023 ![]() ![]() It took a lot of planning and a lot of skill to beat the previous record.” “That’s 14 to 15 feet (4.2 to 4.6 meters) over the farthest throw we ever did. “We hope this record stands for quite a while - 290 feet (88 meters) is unreal,” Jensen said in the release. The engineers put their final design to the test on December 2, 2022, in Crown Point, Indiana, where the record was achieved on Ruble’s third throw. The feat required months of effort, as the team put in nearly 500 hours of studying origami and aerodynamics to create and test multiple prototypes. The trio are recent graduates who studied aerospace engineering and mechanical engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology. Ruble worked alongside Garrett Jensen, a strength engineer also with Boeing, and aerospace engineer Nathaniel Erickson. Nathan Erickson (from left), Dillon Ruble and Garrett Jensen are aerospace engineers turned world record holders with their paper plane design inspired from hypersonic vehicles. ![]()
