Boeing 777 made of paper
Project Manila Folder 777
Luca Iakoni-Stewart spend five years to made an exact copy of the Boeing 777 made of paper.
San Francisco-based designer Luca Iaconi-Stewart is building a 1:60 scale model of a Boeing 777 out of manila folders, a project that he has been working on and off for the past 5 years. The 22-year-old began his incredibly detailed model back in 2008 after becoming inspired from an architecture class where he learnt to make simple models out of card. Iaconi-Stewart decided to take the idea a step further and began work on an airplane.
Iaconi-Stewart discovered a detailed schematic of an Air India 777-300ER online which he recreated in Adobe Illustrator before printing them directly onto the paper manila folders. Iaconi-Stewart says he has had to redesign many elements to make them work, saying that the hardest parts have been any curved sections or moving parts.

Manila Folder 777 - Seat Installation/Cabin Furnishing Time-lapse
A super quick video I threw together to show a portion of the seat installation. This is the aft-most section between doors 4 and 5. It's been configured to reflect the layout of Air India's 777-300ERs. The interior of the model was completed about a year ago.

Manila Folder 777 - Cargo Doors - Mechanics+Operation
Showing how all three cargo doors operate. Air India chose the smaller aft cargo door option on their 777, so the rear door operates differently than the one at the front — it pivots away from (i.e. doesn't actually touch) the fuselage, rather than hinging on a fixed point. It took me a long time to figure out exactly how it worked.

Manila Folder 777 - Main Landing Gear - Swing Test
I just finished the left side main landing gear for the 1:60 model 777 I'm building from manila folders. Since I don't have the wings complete yet, I had to build a test jig to ensure that the gear works properly. This is a video of the gear swing.
Each side has over 1,000 pieces of paper, and is fully articulated as it would be on the actual aircraft. The gear retracts and extends, the gear truck tilts up and down, the strut "absorbs" the weight of the plane, and the rear axle turns from side to side. I've tested the gear with 5lbs of weight without a problem.
