“My story began with paper airplanes. Trying to make them fly better sparked an interest in learning why airplanes fly and ignited a curiosity to learn. In the years since the same curiosity led to my setting four Guinness World Records for paper airplanes and a career as an aeronautical engineer. This is why I am such an avid supporter of the Aeronautical STEM Kit and curriculum.”

– Ken Blackburn, Air Force Research Laboratory aeronautical engineer, four-time Guinness World Record holder for paper airplane time aloft
