Hello my name is Chris Feliciano and I wanted to introduce a forum for the purpose of people showing off their Lego aircraft, whether it flys or not and that this forum can be used as a foundation for research on making flying Lego helicopters and airplanes/gliders :) I hope this will be a fun topic and I would like to see your guys creations :)

thanks for the links btw

Hey there, my name is Chris Feliciano and I'm working with a friend on this project to build a working flying American Airlines Airbus A300, this is going to be the main support forum for the project.

okay

sorry about that

Hey Grohl your glider is amazing! So far you have the only flying Lego glider in Existence, have you thought about uploading it to Lego ideas?

Hey guys btw when I put down a Lego foundation for aviation as the topic, I had to have a title so that's what I could come up with, and also to reassure you guys it's not "the" Lego foundation for aviation, it's "a" Lego foundation for aviation, I don't own anything http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=44159&st=325

Yup

That wasn't my intention, I just wanted to see if I could get a group of people toghether who want to build these things for fun, of course I'm gonna pull the $10 needed for the glider, it's just that I need a chance to go to the store, and it's hard to find Legos in Puerto Rico so I'm most likely gonna have to wait for Lego to ship the parts to me here, which will take a little while, so please bear with me and be patient, I will have a product for you guys with instructions

*sighs* I know there are other topics too, I just wanted to have my own forum to help spread the interest in Lego AviationI also wanted to have this forum separate from my Airbus one as an attempt to reduce the amount of mean messages I'm getting from people

Hey I recommend that before you get this thing to actually fly, use a wind tunnel and see if it flies and if it's actually stable before you take your chances and fly it in the environment. If something happens to the plane in the wind tunnel, it will be a lot easier to repair it than when something happens to the plane when it's flying outside. Also with a wind tunnel you will be able to discover stall speeds and aerodynamic loads before you actually fly the plane so that you will know what to expect already and know if it works once your flying in the air :)

These photos are awesome!

Here is a working Lego glider that I found and I consider it the first official flying Lego product that flies as a plane/glider. Sorry about the way I opened this topic, I've been taking a lot of heat from my other forum (people are even calling me names) so I was worried about trying to get them off my back, so I have officially posted the first video of a working flying Lego glider

Hello, thank you for the info, if you don't mind i'd actually like to see your glider and autogyro A moc won't be made for awhile, I had the forum up now just to see if I could get any suggestions as to how I should build this thing

Thanks :)

You seriously hurt my feelings :,( I have actually spoken with Airbus Headquarters in USA and they said they would hook me up with a representative within the next few days who is supposed to help me by lending me some design info of the A300 (for a lack of better words) and nothing is written in stone but I am trying to see if there is any way possible I can get it to fly, taxi maybe but fly idk, next time I hope your a little nicer when expressing your opinions For now on I will have the forum about Lego's Foundation for Aviation on another article so that I don't have anymore conflicts regarding both subjects on the same page

coolOkay guys, Lego Company has replied to my message and they are supportive of a Lego Foundation For Aviation :) pretty soon Legos will take to the skies

Sorry

Guys, I'm trying to make my product certified of doing all those things, currently I'm working with Airbus and Bright Bricks to see how we're going to do it

Blakbird, thank you, I wish I could hire you to help me with this thing but I can't, I am currently thinking about using servos on the control surfaces now and that should make it have a fly by wire like feel that Airbus aircraft all have :) and also rigidity is crucial to width standing aerodynamic loads

lol but seriously, I do have intentions on making this thing fly

Exactly, which is why the Jet Engine style Ducted fans I'm using are going to be the only part of the plane with 80% non Lego partsWe're looking for a perfect balance of having plenty of thrust and being light enough to fly like a real airliner

Epic Tank!

Looking Good

i know it's not enough but we're still trying to figure out how we're going to design it in a way that it will fly
