    AIAA invites you to participate in National Paper Airplane Day on Thursday, 26 May

    National Paper Airplane Day is an unofficial holiday that annually celebrates this simple aeronautical toy. AIAA challenges your committee, section, student branch, and/or classroom to participate. You can make a paper airplane by yourself or with others and share it on social media for all to enjoy.

    Ideas on how to participate on Thursday, 26 May:
    • Use your imagination and/or grab a friend or colleague and build a paper airplane to fly
    • Post a short video or picture of your paper airplane on social media (Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook) using the hashtag #PaperAirplaneDay and tag @AIAA
    • Be creative and have fun!
