Aerospace engineering student Simant Suman had never thought in his wildest dreams that a paper plane could win him a trip to Austria. Simant from Chennai is among the three finalists who have won the National Qualifiers of a paper plane designing and flying contest ‘Red Bull Paper Wings 2012’.
Held at New Delhi Railway Station of Airport Express Metro Line recently, 63 participants from seven cities contested in the event under three categories - longest distance, longest airtime and aerobatics.
Simant from Sri Ramaswamy Memorial (SRM) University won the top position under the longest distance category by flying his paper plane a distance of 30.9 meters.
“I am an aerospace engineering student, so for me it was not very difficult. I knew that flying at 45 degrees is the best for the category in which I participated. My family and I never thought that I will get a chance to go Austria by making and flying paper planes,” Simant said.
