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!

Don't matter how fast you make the ground move under the plane it will never take off until it has air flow under the wings

[he-man]

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.

[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.

[ryanpenalosa]

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.

[austinkub]

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.

Imagine it went so fast that it actually started flying

0:12 - Boeing 777 lining up
0:20 - Boeing 777 taking off
0:28 - Airbus A320
0:35 - Boeing 737

[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.

[shaldurprime]

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

[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.

0:20 When a piston propeller sounds like a GE90

[BAGELMENSK]

Doesn't really matter how fast the rotor spins, almost anything with free spinning wheels can stay on a treadmill like that.

[freestyledheartbreak-topic]

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

[mohamediaouf]

when the lego plane reached 6km/h it sounded like a boeing 787 dreamliner when its engine start.

[anjingbabi]

The moment i saw the treadmill moving, i'm 100% sure it wont be able to fly no matter how fast it is.

[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.

[no_shotboi]

You made a mistake here. Instead of trying to do it like a normal plane, try throwing it instead. I threw my lego jet airplane and it worked...for a second.

[dangiebrosjet]

0:50 the scene can fit easily in a movie scene

[clippeh]

id love to see how the gears hold up after a test like this

[snakeofminthumbugs]

A functioning Lego remote control plane would be the best thing ever
