Here are the rules for setting a Guinness world record for paper airplane time aloft:
1.
The flight must take place indoors.
2.
The plane must be made from a single sheet of paper that is no larger than 9.
84 by 13.
90 inches (250 x 353 mm) and weighs no more than 5 ounces (150 grams).
Typing or copier paper works great.
3.
It is OK to use some tape or glue.
4.
The plane must be thrown from level ground.
The stopwatch must start when you release the plane, and end when the plane touches anything (the floor, a wall, a chair…).
5.
You are allowed six attempts.
6.
You must submit the following to file a record claim:
• Signed statements from two witnesses saying that they saw you set the record.
• A newspaper clipping about the event.
• Color photographs and a continuous video tape of the flight (you must have both).
NOTE: it is not required that a Guinness representative be present.
