Given modern materials, tools and techniques, you would think it would be a sure thing to scale up the standard rubber-band-powered airplane we all flew as kids and have something with a truly awesome wingspan. As this video from the Think Flight channel shows, it’s not easy at all. And finding a rubber band large enough is the least of the problems.
World’s Largest Rubber Band Airplane
Key Takeaways:
- Scaling up traditional rubber-band-powered airplanes to an awesome wingspan is surprisingly difficult despite modern materials and techniques.
- The video from Think Flight demonstrates the significant challenges involved in this engineering task.
- Finding a large enough rubber band is highlighted as one of the lesser problems when attempting such a large-scale project.
