The Pima Air and Space Museum's Great Paper Airplane project is a story about how a little known museum in the Arizona desert created new relevance for their physical artifacts of aviation history by making a little history of their own. Instead of traditional advertising, the client and the agency hatched a scheme to teach applied lessons in math and science inherent to aviation through a paper airplane competition that led to the design, construction and flight of the largest known paper airplane in history.
