Given modern materials, tools and techniques, you would think it would be a sure thing to scale up the standard rubber-band-powered airplane we all flew as kids and have something with a truly awesome wingspan. As this video from the Think Flight channel shows, it’s not easy at all. And finding a rubber band large enough is the least of the problems.

Key Takeaways:
- Scaling up standard rubber-band-powered airplanes to achieve a massive wingspan is far more difficult than expected, even with modern materials and techniques.
- The challenges involved in creating a large-scale rubber-band plane are complex and go well beyond just finding an appropriately sized rubber band.
