The “Perfect” Geek gift: The Paper Airplane Launcher

If you have a really geeky friend and you have no idea what to get them, this may fit the bill perfectly: The Paper Airplane Launcher.

Some of you might remember making paper planes in order to pass the time in class as a kid. Apparently, some designers at Middlesex University decided to take paper airplane flight one step further when they created this unique kit. Yes, some engineer got paid to develop this.

This device works with two spinning motors and plastic discs. It has two spinning plastic discs that would grab hold of the car in order to launch it down at track at a very fast speed. Perfect for launching your paper masterpieces into the stratosphere.

All a user needs to do is stick the plane in between these fast-rotating disks, and it can be launched in the air at speeds of 30 mph, so it isn’t a kiddie toy really, especially if they’re clumsy or vindictive children.

The Electric Paper Plane Launcher requires only 1 AA battery for power, and retails for the tiny price tag of $18.00. Hurry and order online before they’re gone.
