Would a real aircraft (no scale model) be able to fly if its wings were made out of paper?

Nomex honeycomb is Not a cellulose fiber ; but it's initial matrix
is considered a Kevlar based paper. It is a core material that's
much stronger and lighter than most any other core material
on the market.
I just purchased (25) 4' X 8' sheets worth over $7K on this forum,
and couldn't believe that nobody didn't jump on that deal for $750 ??

OK -- it is a Sun-of-a-gun to work with ; but the end results are worth the
time it takes on the learning curve !!
