They'll end up about 2km away from where the popped balloon landed
you fucking samsung spammer.
BTW the register beat you by about 50,000 feet, and they tracked their plane all the way down. It landed 6km away.

Here's the thing.
We all know that this is basically a viral for Samsung. But given that traditional ads seem to be A) a bit shit, and B) a thing of the past, I hereby welcome our new adutainment overlords.
*runs off and trademarks the phrase "adutainment".

Another thing...
The register released theirs at 90,000 feet, the Spamsung planes were released at 121,000 feet plus change.

We don't know how far they'll go, but it will be many miles. At one atmosphere pressure they can achieve several feet of travel across the ground for every foot they lose in altitude though we don't know how they'll perform in thin air. They are optimised for fast flight though, to maximise the chances of a long distance covered.
The register project was really lovely, and it would have been nice for us if we could have got ours off before them, but we weren't able to. It was substantially different in that they launched one large plane instead of a couple of hundred paper planes, and they launched from a lower altitude. Certainly we would expect to cover a lot more distance than PARIS. Which isn't a criticism of that project- as I say it was really great.
