PLEASE READ THE RULES BELOW for the Fold and Throw 3 Paper Planes Individual Challenge
For the purposes of this record, the paper aircraft must be made from an unmodified, unfolded and flat, commercially available, standard A4 sheet of paper.
The screen of the recording device must be angled so you can be clearly seen folding the paper aircraft and then clearly seen throwing it. This may mean you have to tilt the screen up and down between folding and throwing each of the 3 paper aircraft.

  1. The participant must start with three unfolded pieces of commercially available standard A4 paper.
  2. The participant must not be touching the paper before the attempt begins.
  3. The participant must start with both hands flat on the table.
  4. After the start signal, the first paper aircraft must be properly folded according to the diagram on the right:
  5. Once the aircraft has been folded, the participant must throw it so that it glides through the air in a straight trajectory without dipping – at the discretion of Guinness World Records.
  6. The participant must use their own power to launch the plane. No outside aids are permitted.
  7. Once the first paper aircraft has been launched, the participant returns to the table to fold the second aircraft and throw it.
  8. Time stops as soon as the 3rd and final aircraft is thrown from the hand of the participant.
