FLIGHTLAB - SELECTION OF PLANE PARTS

People powered plane

Many parts were made for several plane models, with the idea being that these parts would all fit well with each other, and onto all of the existing hull options for each plane build. These parts are all for a potential human powered plane.

Amazon rescue plane

These parts were for an amazon rescue plane, with the need for lightness, a small size, plus the ability to take off or land anywhere.

Emergency supply plane

These parts needed to be able to build a plane with the potential to deliver supplies to places in emergency situations - natural disasters, warzones etc. The need was for a plane that could carry a large load, while still be efficient enough to get there.

Carbon neutral plane

This selection of parts is for a potential future build of a carbon neutral plane, it uses many very moden ideas for streamlined, very lightweight parts, and uses ideas that are very innovative, including a selection of hydrogen based engines.

Flight school game 1

This build is to choose the correct wing configuration for an early plane type build. The idea is to get the user considering which type of wing would create the best lift, from the series of options.

Flight school game 2

For this game the object was to find the correct hull shape for a 1950's era transport plane, which needed to be both spacious yet to have a certain degree of good aerodynamic properties.

Flight school game 3

The final flight school game focused on engines, and looked at engines throughout different periods of time to see which type would be most suitable for a modern jet type build.
