I spent $100,000 upgrading a paper plane to the EXTREME!

The UK Space Agency makes a surprising return as I over-engineer a paper plane to extreme levels in Flight, the game! It only cost me $100k and several hours but we flew over 5000m in a single flight!

As someone who played this game like 10 times as a kid, it pains me how inefficient he’s being with his fuel. Medium speed, and save the last bar for pitch control, so you can make the most out of everything

[@airlightshockZOV]

What’s the name of the game?

[@big_j9125]

And matt didn't get the mystery upgrade. If you know what I mean

[@Zilahi-Branyi_Laszlo]

Not just the last bar, but all the fuel for pitch control. Engine should be used only in emergency situations. A so upgraded plane that he played at the end should go easily 2000m with every single bar of fuel.

[@Archgeek0]

Yeah, seeing tens of meters per second go completely to waste because he had no fuel with which to pull up *hurt* inside.

[@bexcalibur14]

Well assuming it is miles/s and not meters/s, which would make more sense, but I like your idea too lol

[@MrSimpsondennis]

@@bexcalibur14 I calculated for meters/second, since miles/sec would mean that it went even faster... Also, 196.8miles/second would be insane, that would be 1133568km/hr which would be VERY close to 1000 times the speed of sound or 200 times the speed of light.

the fact that that paper plane went half the speed of sound in the end with out the airframe breaking is such and engineering feat

[@Dave0439]

the person that decided where to throw it was an architect because he went south, then even more south then north-east and then more nonsense. you dont need to go around the world just go straight for it and what country in africa was the third one? that architect really needs to start becomming an engineer

[@BerryMuncher]

It's Kenya I'm assuming, you can see it says it in the top left on the picture/mural 6:08, but your point still stands as the route is very architectural "We decided to take this route to make sure that everyone is involved and it really represents the 21st century and our goals for the next 100 years"

[@vilkogula7057]

if you put pencil in plane in goes really well

[@kaitofler6305]

In blue stacks if u go to the controls you can set a button for tilt btw

[@MrBnsftrain]

I remember this was one of the games my classmates would play on the computer at indoor recess. The rest of us would gather round the computer and see how far the student playing the game could get before indoor recess ended. I think the highest I've seen my classmates get was 222 meters in Paris. We focused on exterior upgrades rather than speed ones, most notably a blue biplane.

[@ameliajales5307]

Watching this video made me remember the one time I got godly RNG and ended up going the full distance required to get to Santa on day 1. It kept going on so long that I had to actually FORCEFULLY make it end.
