A Kid Spent 9 Years Building an Incredibly Detailed Paper Model of Boeing Jet

The 25-year-old spent the last nine years in his parents’ house building an exquisitely precise replica of an Air India Boeing 777 jet made entirely from cut-up paper folders. “I like the way the planes look and I love the engines,” Iaconi-Stewart says. I didn’t talk to any engineers, but I do have a friend from high school (with whom I took an architecture class) who now works at GE, and he told me a bit about the challenges inherent in engine design and production, especially with cutting edge variants like the GE9X [the world’s largest jet engine, which GE Aviation developed for the next-generation Boeing 777X].
