Will It Fly? Lego Technic Plane Takeoff Test.

Will It Fly? Lego Technic Plane Takeoff Test.
In the Lego Plane Takeoff Challenge, toy planes are put to the test to see how well they can fly. The challenge involves launching the planes from a variety of different surfaces, including grass, concrete and bumpy terrain. Participants are judged on the distance of the flight, how consistent their takeoffs are, and the accuracy of their landings. This challenge is a fun and unique way to test the limits of Lego planes, and is perfect for aviation enthusiasts of all ages. So, get ready to take flight and see how far your Lego plane can go!

No way people think this wold actually fly, but Ben with the most basic understanding of physics and aviation and you’ll know that if the wings are flat and have holes in them, air will go straight through or around it, and since the aren’t curved air has no way of pulling it up.

[@daniel_of_jersey4775]

The things u need for this to fly are a good power to weight ratio, wings that can produce lift via Bernoulli's principle and newtons 3rd law and an aerodynamically sound airframe.

[@teacher555555]

there is a question been going around for much longer than the mythbusters trying to prove it in which it goes like "if a plane was on a runway designed to match its speed, would the plane take off?" the ultimate answer for this question is kind of shown in this video in that no it will not but this is a lego technic, not exactly the most flight capable design.

It can't fly because: The ground is moving instead of the plane The wings aren't curved enough to provide lift. (curved outer wings in aircraft help with lift) And, lastly: No engine to actually propel the propeller.

[@SCR_V]

Bullshit, the plane didn't took off because there was no air passing through the wings to produce lifts, that's how physics works

[@AndreiBazgu]

And the wings have holes in them

[@bananamarshmelowcatminy7476]

This is all wrong the onky thing you need is lift and thrust

[@spacebanana5326]

​@@bananamarshmelowcatminy7476 what he said was right. Ground is moving instead of the plane, the Air speed is 0. The wing isn't curved, combined with 0 airspeed it doesn't produce lift. Propellor doesn't produce thrust because as the other guy said nothing propelling it.

[@he-man4076]

Airspeed is always 0 so it can't fly. Basic physics. While it's true that the propeller might be able to produce enough thrust to directly lift the plane up, it will immediately lose power upon lifting and immediately fall back down.

[@garrom5652]

A plane can fly at a 0 airspeed, but usually planes with low stall speeds can accomplish this. Are u referring to a scenario when the thrust generated wouldn’t be able to provide the appropriate amount of lift to ensure constant flight?

[@fetus_deletus]

The wings are completely flat on pretty much all sides. That means that there is no wind going under the wings. Mostly because there is no wind at all. No matter how fast you make the propeller spin, you cannot get a plane to lift off the ground without wind. Wind helps create lift. To get an airplane off the ground you need thrust+lift.

[@jackhay4478]

Of course there's air going under the wings unless it's a vacuum

It will never take off, no matter how fast it goes, air moving over the wings is what makes it fly, and it stays completely still, so yea, if you think about it it's doing nothing.

Last time I checked, you need air flowing over and under the wings of an airfoil for it to gain lift. Pulling, or rolling it I guess, on a moving treadmill won't make it takeoff, there's no aerodynamic lift there.

[@shaldurprime7154]

I think if you could have attached the tether higher up (maybe with a forked thread attached to the wings) the friction in the gears may have provided enough resistance for the tail wheel to lift up, giving the illusion of takeoff

[@CycIic]

It stays the same position, when you run a bunch of air hits you, if the plane did propel from the propeller, it could move and gain airflow to fly. Though without a big enough wing, it would just go on forever. If there were elevators, it would probably push the plane up a bit, though it would fall down since the wings aren't big enough. If it is big enough and was actually moving, it could fly.

[@freestyledheartbreak-topic8146]

The wings would have to be shaped different. The holes in the front of the wings is a huge disadvantage

[@StaceyIsles]

No, cause the wings if blocked (due to there's no good rounded peices like a real planes wings would create resistance/ drag at least this was the holed peices give more air flow

[@freestyledheartbreak-topic8146]

@@StaceyIsles dude, the wings having at least some drag is how planes fly. Most wings have an almost elongated semi-circle shape to them. That allows it to have low pressure on the top, and high pressure on the bottom to allow lift off. If it has alot of holes, no air pressure can be held under the wings to allow take off

[@dsago6828]

[@madogmabz]

The wheels are geared to the propeller so if it leaves the ground even if it had aerodynamic wings it would loose propolustion unless there was a strong enough wind or a fan to propel it after it left the ground.

[@sghsdhdkfh]

I notice that

[@mattyo8828]

The way a plane takes off is not how fast the wheels move it’s how fast the plane moves. On the treadmill it stays still even though the wheels are moving. Also if the plane is moving fast enough and it’s engine shuts off it can still glide. Same way a paper airplane has no engine but still glides.

[@njovwevnjweV]

[@LDaniel_BDuce]

Can’t wait for the guy to realize that the airplane is stationary meaning no air is going under the wings to provide lift.

[@aerospaceplace2085]

Ha ha ha I can see the string keeping the plane in place so basically the airplane can never achieve the 12km/h speed hence it can never lift-off

[@CTPlaneSpotters]

The wings aren't built to create enough lift. They must be a certain "teardrop" shape to allow air to speed up on top and slow down on bottom. This creates an area of low pressure that generates lift.

[@redhawk8476]

It needs flaps or ailerons to lift it up.

[@christopherbrown6302]

Elevators for lifting, ailerons for rolling, and flaps to fly at lower speeds

Even if it had them, it still won't fly because the air is not moving, only the ground.

[@redhawk8476]

@@he-man4076 , right.

[@mr88cet]

I’m not clear what situation you’ve created here: 1. Is the propeller aerodynamically effective? Does it move air backward, or more accurately, does it provide wing-like “lift” in the forward direction? 2. Are the wheels free-rolling, like the front wheel of a bike, as opposed to a motor driving them or having substantial friction? If the answer to both of these questions is “yes,” then it will move forward (relative to the air around it) regardless of how the treadmill is set. Clearly it’s not moving forward, so one or both of those conditions is not being met. I’m guessing there are invisible fishing lines holding it in place, but I can’t tell for sure. Then, if “yes” to the above two questions, whether or not it takes off, is the same question as whether it would take off from stationary ground. I’m guess that that’s very unlikely, because it looks like a really bad airplane (e.g., no airfoil contour on the wings).

[@DelinaSilence]

Is it just me or I found the whine of the propeller mechanism to be satisfying?

[@Ion_el]

[@TriHardProductions]

I mean if the propeller was tilted to actually produce thrust, it could maybe leave the ground for a sec then crash back down.

[@No1sonuk]

[@dereksflying]

Sadly that’s not how it work. No matter how fast the treadmill goes the plane will always take off. But you need it to move forward by having the prop precise the thrust

[@methcooker6402]

Can you do this but make the plane as light as possible and see of it flies

[@knighthonor44]

The only way the plane can take off from a stationary movement is if you can blow air towards the wings fast enough to create enough lift to fly. In that case you wouldn't need a runway anymore.

I suppose theoretically, with a very fast treadmill, if it went fast enough it could drag enough air around to create lift at the wings. If the wings are actually even remotely wing shaped in profile. And if the wheels didn't melt first.

bro accidentally made a Stuka dive sound

[@zingle12]

the reasons that it cant fly is because the plane is not moving so no air is flowing at the plane and the air is flowing in and out of the wings and it is too heavy. the planes wings also need to be the right shape for air to flow in the correct way to provide the plane lift and make it airborne.

Another reason it can't fly is because the wings are flat and can't provide any lift.
