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

I like legos

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

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

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.

Cars planes, what’s next, BOATS!?

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

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

9:53 Technically the flaps should have been down to produce more lift but its lego and it still flew pretty well

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

The one with 6/10 needed more because he turned the breaks lol.

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

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.

I don’t think the flaps really helped much. Everyone seems to be forgetting one thing. The wing needs to be airfoil shaped with this types of speeds and weights. Sure you can make anything fly with enough thrust… but for a heavy slow moving un aerodynamic airfoil those aircraft had little chance unfortunately

Sorry for being late 5:14 Julliete Plane ( i think thats the name?) 6:18 Lego City ambulance plane 7:07 Mars Space Settle 8:04 Star Wars X Wing 9:16 Loop Hour Jet 10:33 Guardian Ship 12:00 Lego City Commercial Airliner Plane

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

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

If that jet glided with flaps UP, can't imagine how it will work with flaps down (how they're supposed to be in order to generate more lift!).

I like this Plane diving machine 😂

For the blue jet, you should not have put the flaps upward because this changes the overall camber of the wing negatively so this will actually have the opposite effect of what you want.

6:28 haha nice voice. A MAN HAS FOLEN INTO THE RIVER IN LEGO CITY, HeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEyYyYyY!!!!!! BUILD THE AMBULANCE PLANE!!!!

I really like this video! You did a great job with the machine. But i think you should have used also some technic planes

I own the Blue Power Jet and I just want to say that it’s a fantastic set. Genuinely underrated set

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

The launcher could have been designed to work more like the ones on aircraft carriers, where it would push the front wheel or landing gear. Either way good job at trying to make them fly.

It's just to little speed but the fighter jet had the best chances. You should've put the flaps down by putting them up you're actually pushing the wings down that's why the vertical control surfaces are either on the front or back of the plane and horizontal are on the main wings pushing one wing down and the other up. Putting them down extends the surface of the wings and helps creating more lift but also creates more drag with enough speed it would've flown or rather glided since for a bit since there would be nothing pushing it forward but it's momentum

As a trainee pilot, I almost lost the will to live when he put the flaps UP!

6:00 dang that’s historically accurate!

[Lego Plane Go Boom! intensifies] That F35 lightning on the catapult was amazing! It’s just like on an aircraft carrier. Also the ships in Star Wars use ion engines for propulsion

LEGO IS LIFE

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

Perfect carrier catapult simulator for a scenario where a fighter's engines are off/idle. No plane can fly without producing thrust (well, glide planes do "fly" but even they are usually towed into the sky with another plane's thrust).

A fun thing could have been a little tower on the side, in the style of a aircraft carrier. Joking aside, it was pretty fun to see !

9:53 All Aerodynamics/physics students cried in that clip.

Fun fact: the blue power jet resembles the f-35 lightning ll

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

9:56 putting the "flaps" up results in extra drag - in that case they will act like spoilers and slow the plane down, increasing the fps in the glideslope - I would put them down about halfway to give enough lift for it to be worth its drag. To angle the plane up, angle the elevators in the tail up, such as are seen at 10:01 - possibly angle up more if you want a quicker pitch result. Gear is also a major source of drag - I would probably leave the gear retracted during a test flight like this.

I like the part when he fell from the roof

As an aviation geek, it pained me to see him put the flaps UP instead of DOWN. Flaps down means it get more lift because it’s pushing the air down

1:43 perfect shirt wearing what you say

This is cool asf. I love Lego but I’m the type of person who can only build looking at the instruction manual, I’ve always envied people who can build freely.

The actual lego avatar playsets have some wing- and tent-plane-pieces, that are made out of stiff, printed foil. Maybe theese in compination with just a few little bricks may make something, that is really able to glide.

12:55 Yes, you should. It's like a missing piece in a puzzle. There's Land and Air, but you're missing Sea.

Wow 👏 super cool. My favorite plane is definitely the blue power jet.

WE NEED THE BOATS WE NEED THE BOATS WE NEED THE BOATS! Tbh your whole idea of a crash and launch simulator is pretty original and I LOVE it it’s so much fun to see which one does best and we need to see which Lego boat floats the longest!

I think the last plane was a 10/9

I love to test lego boats 🚢 and want to see you test them as soon as you can 😊

10:58 The weight doesn´t influence how well the plane flies. You just need a bigger Force to accelerate it.

6:45 a helicopter has fall into the river build the man HEY

I think the best approach to a Lego plane might be a high-speed lifting body (aka a flying brick) as they tend to be more stable, but with the disadvantage of having to go really fast to maintain lift.

I just love this man when he builds and tells us the cm and calculation he teaches me some stuff

13:03 You can actually see it catches a little air going down. Not enough to fly though.

love your sense of humor Riley. It's always exciting when you've posted a new video.

Hi man. This thing not gonna fly without a good wing profile. The fighter what has won is the only possible to fly. You should turn the flaps downwards. This way might fly with low speed

You should create another plane video but with Cobi sets, their planes look so aerodynamic and smooth.😊

10:30 It's named the Guardians Ship because it's the ship of the Guardians of the Galaxy 😉

You should make one for boats where you had the same type of thing but real water on/in it (it would also be cool to see you do one for helicopters)

you should try this with the concord when it releases

"That's not flying. That's falling with style!" Nice video.

6:12 anyone else notice the jet in the sky

Pretty cool video. I really like science and lego so this channel is perfect for the type of viewers like me

This dude’s mindset for how planes fly” big wings “

Lego isn't just a toy It's It's passion ❤

I definitely want to see boats. I want to see which ones actually float properly, and which ones don't. (LEGO is rather buoyant as a whole, in my experience, and this video shows that the planes/spaceships float just fine , so I expect most boats/ships will _float;_ the question is, will they capsize?)

For you info, with planes, flaps on their main wings are to go down, this is so they can create extra lift to assist with flying at low speeds. Another thing, sorry for this stuff but the planes wont fly unless their airfoils produce enough lift, lego is square (ish) so it wont work. Great videos though yeaa sorry for saying this stuff :)

lol thinking outside the box… nice😂😂😂

The flaps are supposed to be facing down because they increase wing velocity and increase more lift.

WOW! That is awesome! I love these testing things! Thanks for making so much entertaining but incredibly fascinating videos! My mind can't even wrap around what you do! Keep up the terrific work!

its better to keep the flaps a bit lower than how u did it. 9:54 Great video!

9:53 the right flapps position for planes to take off is going down actually, but once the aircraft is in the air is flapps up to move up

sponsor ends here 4:50

WOW This dude always surprises me I agree that the blue 1 flew the best

We want a "boat sinking test" video 😂

His shirt means "Think outside of the box" XD! Love it!

Build a plane that is able to fly by yourself! That sounds way more interesting than testing non-aerodynamic stuff.

Down below. 11:52

You just created a Lego illusion my man I was shocked for the least 1:34

9:58 as the air flows like that,it makes the plane go down and when the flaps are down the air force pushes the plane up as it pushes air down

You should do boats and maybe even make like a little wave machine to see how they handle waves. Possibly even waterproof the bottom via some sort of seal. The only reason I’m thinking of this is because when I was a kid I got the big LEGO Chima boat thing that was supposed to be able to float. Probably because half of the thing was already built.

10:01 it’s the exact opposite, having them up pushes the plane down

I think you should test how well different Lego ships float

You should try flaps down as flaps are there to provide lift at low speed (below 150 knots)

Why is your sponsor always Shopify?

9:40 Now you realized that that one is the best so far

I think you need a higher speed on the track and a way to get instant full acceleration raight at the start so itcan get as much lift as possible also i feel it would bee easier to do the speed start up with penumatics

Love how majority of those aren't even planes. It's like testing submarines and being disappointed when the boat you had in the list starts to float. There's a difference between planes and SPACESHIPS, one goes in the sky and the other goes to SPACE. We all knew before watching that not one of those were ever going to glide at all, but we all thought "What if?". It's a nice little experiment unless you use spaceships instead of planes.

8:47 ok its Lego and I like Lego but what the fog doin?

Your shirt is think outside of the box Did anyone else get that?

great video - one idea would be increasing the weight dropped to correspond to the increased weight of the set. As that would make it more fair

The wings of the Lego planes are not real wings so they don't produce lift. And they are heavy. Challenge for you: make a plane in Lego that will actually glide. You will need to use plastic or paper for lining, to get the weight down. That would be an interesting project.

What’s more interesting about the Blue Jet other than it flies the best out of the planes is that it actually has an illegal building technique in it that is used to mount one of the dash screens in the cockpit.

12:43 Malaysian airlines moment

Nice job! By the way, what is your favorite lego theme?

Ok let me straighten things up a little bit. Basically I know that airplane normally airplanes have their flaps down but that’s because they have engines and the engines are right in front of the flaps so the flaps do you use them like as a mirror so basically the flap that plate thrust from the engine comes and then it hits the flaps in and then it forces it down which makes it pull up but on a paper airplane that doesn’t have like engine or a Lego plan that doesn’t have an engine. Also, it Has to be up, so that way it tilts backwards to take off cause it with you to put it down without a propulsion system basically puts the air down it. If it’s at the back it has the air going down so that means that it will it will essentially fall, but if you have it up at just the right angle, you can have it glide

It would be better to pull the string on the end instead of letting the weight free fall because no matter how heavy something is, it’ll only fall at the speed of gravity so you can make it faster by pulling it.

5:30 sorry i have to do it. Thats what she said.

Lego’s are what legs eat, they say it tastes like cheerios

Omg , the blue power jet lego creator set give me flashbacks of my childhood lol

Now I know why Amelia Earhart went missing😂😂😂
