The only way to make lego plane fly is to light as possible and loooooooots of wind or throw it very hard

[@si8813]

[@mcdstudios-kalanimcd9528]

Having the flaps UP on the jet actually pushes it down as its the centre of mass, so air going under the wings when the flaps are down will create more lift, causing it to go up and to fly at a slower speed

For the blue fighter, having the flaps UP actually decreases lift and is like adding more weight because the air is going up and also pushing the plane down so if you put any flaps down put the vertical stabilizers up rather front or back but for main wing flaps, putting them down actually increases lift and helps all types of planes with shorter takeoff distance, reduced stalling speed, and lower speed while thrust is still being provided and higher deceleration when less thrust is provided That is why planes will put flaps DOWN while taking off and landing It helps in numerous ways

[@Mr.Blue-223]

How has no one gone, 🤓👆no disrespect though I like aviation too

[@balazsbiro8091]

Actually you should lower the flaps on the creator fighter jet. Basically you have slowed down the airlfow over the wings, and the higher the speed over the wing the greater lift you can achieve.

[@bobogus7559]

It seems like the biggest problems were too much weight, a center of gravity that's too far forward, and insufficient airspeed. One other thing: on the Blue Power Jet, you should have had the wing flaps down, since that would have increased lift (also, the stabilators should probably have been tilted down more to increase pitch). I'm pretty sure the airliner would have at least glided a bit if it had enough airspeed - the way it dropped from the roof gave me the impression that it has lift-capable wings. You basically recreated Air France flight 447.

[@ParakeetDSi]

@Man Face Studios it's real science though

[@enzofredericktalaboc4931]

Wait the blue power jet is really the f-35 lighting II

[@nurzaliayasmin]

Yeah. That’s why they can’t launch pretty well. Weight and Center of gravity doesn’t matter, it depends on Lego stabilities!

[@emmanuelmichel207]

[@mathiasemmens3451]

[@The_missile_guidance_system264]

I used the same mechanism as your flight launcher to make a nimitz class aircraft carrier with lego. Thanks for the inspiration

[@CarHub.43]

I’m totally in love with this whole testing series you’re doing. Next, you should try to make lego plane to fly

[@CanadaPlayz48]

9:53 Technically the flaps should have been down to produce more lift but its lego and it still flew pretty well

[@Bloboii]

Yay someone with me

[@OfficialVillagerTranslator]

i think that if the flaps were down. the plane would most likely stall and crash. but having the flaps down does increase lift. and in turn increases altitude. but decreases speed. if the aircraft was more aerodynamic and was at a higher altitude. i would be predicting some sort of phugoid cycle.

[@chipsaviation767]

Fr

[@robbiearmstrong9166]

Having the flaps up makes them act more as ground spoilers then flaps. Having them in the down position would generate more lift

[@victorgc_]

If that jet glided with flaps UP, can't imagine how it will work with flaps down (how they're supposed to be in order to generate more lift!).

[@AstonishingStudios]

[@PachaJosh]

For the blue power jet in particular, usually when a plane takes off, the flaps are down. Especially since they can't go crazily up cause it wasn't good. It's very weird.

[@adamslegocollection]

The flaps are called alirons (I forgor how to spell it 💀)

[@PachaJosh]

@adamslegocollection flaps and ailerons are similar. On the lego planes, they may be the same, but in most cases, flaps are used for takeoff and landing, and ailerons are for rotating while in the air.

[@Hyperspace15]

The launcher could have been designed to work more like the ones on aircraft carriers, where it would push the front wheel or landing gear. Either way good job at trying to make them fly.

[@indominushunter3081]

A fun thing could have been a little tower on the side, in the style of a aircraft carrier. Joking aside, it was pretty fun to see !

[@jacobprescott396]

I don’t think the flaps really helped much. Everyone seems to be forgetting one thing. The wing needs to be airfoil shaped with this types of speeds and weights. Sure you can make anything fly with enough thrust… but for a heavy slow moving un aerodynamic airfoil those aircraft had little chance unfortunately

[@Nerdtendo6366]

I own the Blue Power Jet and I just want to say that it’s a fantastic set. Genuinely underrated set

[@Eppu_Paranormaali]

Perfect carrier catapult simulator for a scenario where a fighter's engines are off/idle. No plane can fly without producing thrust (well, glide planes do "fly" but even they are usually towed into the sky with another plane's thrust).

[@magisterthefirst]

I thought that none of them would fly at all, turns out that indeed the launcher is very strong

[@loyalm2468]

It's just to little speed but the fighter jet had the best chances. You should've put the flaps down by putting them up you're actually pushing the wings down that's why the vertical control surfaces are either on the front or back of the plane and horizontal are on the main wings pushing one wing down and the other up. Putting them down extends the surface of the wings and helps creating more lift but also creates more drag with enough speed it would've flown or rather glided since for a bit since there would be nothing pushing it forward but it's momentum

[@diegocappe7]

I really like this video! You did a great job with the machine. But i think you should have used also some technic planes

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

[@GeneralGoldfi]

For the blue jet, you should not have put the flaps upward because this changes the overall camber of the wing negatively so this will actually have the opposite effect of what you want.

The actual lego avatar playsets have some wing- and tent-plane-pieces, that are made out of stiff, printed foil. Maybe theese in compination with just a few little bricks may make something, that is really able to glide.

[@airlightshockZOV]

[@personrandom5067]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@PeriapsisStudios2000]

I think the best approach to a Lego plane might be a high-speed lifting body (aka a flying brick) as they tend to be more stable, but with the disadvantage of having to go really fast to maintain lift.

[@khmcc5556]

You should try flaps down as flaps are there to provide lift at low speed (below 150 knots)

[@TylerLikesBalsawood]

[@MasterBlakeYT]

[@spacexishorriblepleasedeleteit]

9:56 putting the "flaps" up results in extra drag - in that case they will act like spoilers and slow the plane down, increasing the fps in the glideslope - I would put them down about halfway to give enough lift for it to be worth its drag. To angle the plane up, angle the elevators in the tail up, such as are seen at 10:01 - possibly angle up more if you want a quicker pitch result. Gear is also a major source of drag - I would probably leave the gear retracted during a test flight like this.

[@studclone]

The flaps are supposed to be facing down because they increase wing velocity and increase more lift.

You should do boats and maybe even make like a little wave machine to see how they handle waves. Possibly even waterproof the bottom via some sort of seal. The only reason I’m thinking of this is because when I was a kid I got the big LEGO Chima boat thing that was supposed to be able to float. Probably because half of the thing was already built.
