TOP10 LEGO Plane Sets and their Military Equivalent

TOP10 LEGO Plane Sets and their Military Equivalent
A short video, showing a series of LEGO Sets launched by LEGO and the real Military Planes that (probably) inspired them.

I´m personally happy that we have these sets but LEGO only makes them in a disguised form which is a pity.

Unfortunately, once in a while some obscure and "unknown" societies try their best to remove these Sets because they are based on Military designs.

Funnily enough, the V-22 isn’t even an attack aircraft. It’s strictly meant for cargo and troop transport.

[generalgabrielsatori]

the jet in the set 31086 is based on the prototype fighter SU-47 Berkut, 2 main forward swept wings and 6 stabilizers.

Lego has made LOTS of chinooks, including a black one for black widow quite recently. Probably the closest thing to an army set we’ve gotten. (I know most chinooks aren’t black but it could be a Special forces chinook)

the "Outcry" on the Technic V-22 was that the Gerbox for it's functions was extreamly unreliable

[revvingnoodle]

And that is where companies like Cobi come in with sweet mikitary sets taking customers away from lego, as owner of an f-14, f-18, me-262 and bf-110 i can confirm that they are really sweet sets

It's always the boomer parents ruining the greatest things.

If not them, it's the brats who are far too young at the time the parents aren't watching.

And it's such a smooth looking Technic set too...

[KristofferEk]

I think the biggest trouble for the osprey wasn't so much parents who didn't want it out seeing as it as an "advanced" technic set for 16+ ages but rather the Afol community as the small 16 tooth gears (I think they are 16 tooth the smallest gears Lego makes) striped in the gear box to spin the rotors.
Also what about the Lego city sets the stunt planes and race planes respectively.

I wouldn't say the Futuristic flyer is based on the plane from Ace Combat rather it took more design looks from the Prototype X-29

At 2:20, that's gotta be an SB2C. The curved tail design is a signature of Curtiss.

2:35 MY DAD HAS BEEN WATCHING TOPGUN NONSTOP. I KNEW THAT WAS AN F-14 THE MOMENT I SAW IT.

I figured there would be reference to that the moment I began typing.

I find it hilarious that this German peace group complained at Lego for making an osprey

Peace Groups be like:

Putin invades Ukraine: Understandable have a nice day

Lego tries to make an osprey: *Riots*

1:58 The Focke-Wulf Ta-154 Moskito actually had an engine like that. It was an inverted V engine, with a round cowling to fit the radiators around the shaft, which resembles a radial engine. Pretty common in german plane design. (see: Junkers Ju-88, Junkers Ju-288, Focke-Wulf FW-190D series, Heinkel He-219, Focke-Wulf Ta-152) Except the Ta-154 is a High-Wing Monoplane design

[in_baum]

As far as I heard the V-22 wasn't not released beacause of just being a military "helicopter", but because it actually had the cooperation with Bell/Boing which are Armor factorys and in the Lego AGB stands that they don't wanna support those people. Another unofficial reason was the motor. When using those motors a few times the gearwheel often broke and had to be replaced, what they obviously woundn't let be sold like this.

[RayShadow]

The XFA-22 doesn't have forward swept wings, plus it is proportionally way larger than the futuristic flier. It is more likely for it to be based on the Grumman X-29 but with 2 tails instead of 1

Lego not selling military sets...cobi: hold my beer

[hikton]

The super soarer (this one at 4:31) is in my eyes also heavily based on the F-14 Tomcat, considering it got some designfeatures that are very simelar, like the twin engines, tandem cockpit, variable sweept wings, giant elevators, flat fuselage and twin rudders. Only thing I feel is missing is more spread out exhaustes, angled engine intakes, and the fuselage underneeth the cockpit should've been elevated. But it's obvious that they couldn't include such features both to keep it less simelar to the original, but also since those features might compromise the other features considering it's at such a small scale

[ragemonster]

Although it is disappointing, I do respect Lego’s decision. The only problem was the osprey technic set was that Lego made a license agreement with Bel Boeing which is in fact a military contractor and that can get into some nasty political stuff for Lego’s behalf real fast since Boeing would be profiting from this. Historically speaking, military contractors are not good people

[iceilator]

0:57 is definitely more based on something like the A-26 Invader

[coffeeinhandproductions]

Interesting comparisons. Some of those larger 3 in one creator sets were nearly spot on yet with no outcry as they were colorful, and marketed as I guess air show jets. Just going to add City has hand a handful of twin rotor helicopters guised up as police transports though number one for me is the twin rotor from the most recent standalone Black Widow set which isn't even disguised for what it obviously is.

3:45 the specifics I saw was that the gearbox was shoddy, and would either wear out the gears or the motor.
