In 1994, he left Singapore and found work with Pratt & Whitney as a Customer Field Service Representative. He has since provided technical support to more than ten different airlines in South East Asia and China.
It was during his assignment in Shanghai, from 1999-2003, that he became interested in paper airplane folding. It all started one day, when his 4 year-old son, Kevin, asked him to fold a paper concorde airplane.
Teong H Tan's desire to make a better paper airplane eventually pushed him beyond the conventional method of paper airplane folding. With his aviation background, Teong H Tan realized that a tightly bound and rigid fuselage is the key to a better looking and better performing paper airplane. This realization led him to create a whole new and exciting line of realistic looking Interlocking and 3D paper airplanes.
Teong H Tan now enjoys folding and flying his very own fleet of Interlocking and 3D paper airplanes when he not working with real airplanes.visualizza meno
