>Some 30 to 100 planes had been considered to make the descent, each gliding downward over what was expected to be the course of a week to several months. If one of the planes survived to Earth, it would have made the longest flight ever by a paper plane, traversing the 250 miles (400 km) vertical descent. In a test in Japan in February 2008, a prototype about 7 centimetres (2.8 in) long and 5 centimetres (2.0 in) wide (reported by other sources as 30 centimetres (12 in)[5]) survived Mach 7 speeds and temperatures reported to be 230 °C (446 °F) in a hypersonic wind tunnel for 10 seconds.[6] Materials designed for use in conventional reentry vehicles, including ceramic composites, withstand temperatures on the order of 2,200 °C (3,990 °F).[7] The planes were to have been made from heat-resistant paper treated with silicon
