This Is The Coolest Paper Airplane You'll Ever See
Here's what the plane looks like head-on, with the two front cabin doors open.
With the door open, we get a peek inside.
Every single detail, down to the pilots' chairs and control panels, was meticulously recreated.
Before the outer skin was applied, you could see right in to the nose, including the cockpit, first-class lavatory, and stairs leading up to the first-class cabin.
The fuselage opens to reveal the first-class cabin.
He even created detailed replicas of lay-flat seats.
Another door swings open to reveal a closer look inside the fuselage, at a galley unit.
It's just your typical galley, shrunk down a few sizes.
Even the plane's lavatories were built to perfection.
The interior cabin looks remarkably similar to the real thing.
One cabin door is seen installed into the fuselage.
Each engine contains about 900 pieces of paper and took about two months to build. Inside the engine, on the other side of the mesh, Iaconi-Stewart installed miniature thrust reversers, the complex systems that help a plane slow down after landing.
Complex hinges help the aft cargo door to open and close.
The landing gear can actually steer and retract.
And here's a closer look at all 12 of the tires.
These are all of the parts for the tailfin, his third version of the piece and by far the most precise.
The tailfin, along with the rest of the plane, are prepared for painting.
Here's a time-lapse video that shows the design and construction process for the two cockpit seats.
