Schoolboy from San Francisco for five years made an accurate copy of the Boeing 777 of the paper.
Once Luke Iaconi Stuart, a high school student, received a task in the architecture lesson. He needed to make simple models of aircraft from paper, but this idea inspired him so that he decided to make something more ambitious. He was always interested in airplanes, so I decided to make an accurate model of Boeing 777 from paper on a scale of 1:60. So he began to build a model still at school, a lot of paper went to the project and five years of life, but it is not yet completed. Luka hopes to finish him in the summer to start another - there is an idea to create a new, larger model of the aircraft.
Nobody came up so seriously to the design of paper aircraft.
AIR INDIA 777-300ER was chosen to create a Luke model, the scheme of which he found on the Internet.
He moved the scheme to a graphic editor, and printed the parts on the paper from which it folded them.
He used all the knowledge that received in an educational institution, and worked every detail of the aircraft.
The chassis develops, everything that should open - opens.
This model is the result of several unsuccessful attempts.
From the details that did not come up, you can collect another aircraft.
For example, he made three tail parts, two full wings, and much more to make sure everything goes as it should.
In the whole summer went only to the creation of passenger chairs.
Twenty minutes to place in the economy class and four to six hours on the business class.
The development of engines left a month, for the assembly - four.
Eight hours went on the creation of first class places. The main tool was tweezers.
The creator of a paper plane says that while he has no ideas where you can give a ready-made model, but it hopes that there will be proposals from museums or aircraft manufacturing companies.
Luca is grateful to parents who gave him complete freedom, and even more. When this project is completed, the artist will begin to build a new model that will be even more.
