feet!as the winner, arturo got to meet with a team of engineers, which took his design and made a bigger one. the new paper airplane might have been the largest one ever built! arturo named his large paper airplane arturos desert eagle. later a helicopter tried to lift the paper airplane over the arizona desert, but it was unsuccessful. engineers worked for eight hours to repair it for a second try. this time, the helicopter managed to raise it to 2700 feet and then set the plane free. arturo watched as his plane flew through the sky at speeds of up to 98 miles per hour for 10 seconds before falling to pieces. “i felt happy but sad,” arturo says, “ it flew really well, but it was sad to see it destroyed.”but that wasnt the end of arturos desert eagle. the pima air & space museum collected
