Flight Testing LEGO Planes!

In this video I build a LEGO Aircraft Launcher and then test a bunch of different LEGO Plane Sets to see which one flies the best!

9/10 of you won’t understand my shirt… but those of you who do, leave a comment! 😂😎

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

[ericbillingsley]

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

I LOVE your “think outside the box” shirt dude!!!

Now I know why Amelia Earhart went missing😂😂😂

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.

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.

I wanna see a shipwreck simulator for the boat one, where the boats are subjected to really rough waters!

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

6:00 dang that’s historically accurate!

[jay_enderking]

For lego boats you can make a wave machine and use this one to see how far it can float

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

I like the part when he fell from the roof

[magisterthefirst]

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

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

[Danplaysrobloxxxdo]

0:00 dude scared me I thought he was the mousquito in my room flying around. But nice video man lol

[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.

[BrickMachinesChannel]

I'm amazed at your creativity in coming up with the ideas for your videos! This one is really unique and fun 👍

[CarHub.]

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

[dadomain]

You've essentially made an aircraft carrier catapult. Good job man! Excellent video!
