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.
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 think that if the flaps were down. the plane would most likely stall and crash. but having the flaps down does increase lift. and in turn increases altitude. but decreases speed. if the aircraft was more aerodynamic and was at a higher altitude. i would be predicting some sort of phugoid cycle.
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.
@adamslegocollection flaps and ailerons are similar. On the lego planes, they may be the same, but in most cases, flaps are used for takeoff and landing, and ailerons are for rotating while in the air.
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.

[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
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
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.
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).
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
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.
Yoo I bet you can do it, just put on a movie or something, sit down with a pile of LEGO and go at it. There’s no wrong way to build haha, you just have to get used to the parts.
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!
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.
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!
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 :)
@@nataszafudyma4917 having flaps up will push air up pushing the nose down but if you have the flaps down it will push air down pushing the nose up, hope this helps :)
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.
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.
10:23 The things that you put up are called "spoilers" or "flaps if they are down. Try again with them facing down not up. I'm a plane fanatic so I would know.
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.
9/10 of you won’t understand my shirt… but those of you who do, leave a comment! 😂😎
think outside of the box because the 'think' on the shirt is outside of the box.
Think next to the box.
Do boats
The only way to make lego plane fly is to light as possible and loooooooots of wind or throw it very hard
I'll be sure to think outside of the box

Was literally about to say this lol I was thinking "NOOOOO 😭"
I was thinking the same thing
Hello my fellow aviation expert
@@Crisoronaldosewy yes
Finally, SOMEONE who understands my thought process: it is lego, therefore I must apply real life science.

@Man Face Studios it's real science though
Wait the blue power jet is really the f-35 lighting II
Yeah. That’s why they can’t launch pretty well. Weight and Center of gravity doesn’t matter, it depends on Lego stabilities!
Well as the other questions about how to provide you
the amelia earhart one was very realistic
I like this Plane diving machine 😂
LEGO IS LIFE

Technically the flaps should have been down to produce more lift but its lego and it still flew pretty well
Yay someone with me

I’m totally in love with this whole testing series you’re doing. Next, you should try to make lego plane to fly
I used the same mechanism as your flight launcher to make a nimitz class aircraft carrier with lego. Thanks for the inspiration
I wanna see a shipwreck simulator for the boat one, where the boats are subjected to really rough waters!
yes
Yes yes
yes yes yes
yes yes yes yes
That's genius
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.
The flaps are called alirons (I forgor how to spell it 💀)

Aeronautics man same
The one with 6/10 needed more because he turned the breaks lol.
Having the flaps up makes them act more as ground spoilers then flaps. Having them in the down position would generate more lift
6:00 dang that’s historically accurate!
6:28 haha nice voice. A MAN HAS FOLEN INTO THE RIVER IN LEGO CITY, HeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEyYyYyY!!!!!! BUILD THE AMBULANCE PLANE!!!!
0:00 dude scared me I thought he was the mousquito in my room flying around. But nice video man lol
"That's not flying. That's falling with style!" Nice video.
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.
I thought that none of them would fly at all, turns out that indeed the launcher is very strong
None of them did fly
Same and we were correct
I really thought you were pxrge I got surprised and excited 😭
Oh think outside of the box is what his shirt means
Bring back the crash test dummy‘s the E sing that you had them selling gone please please please 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 😭
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!).

For lego boats you can make a wave machine and use this one to see how far it can float
love your sense of humor Riley. It's always exciting when you've posted a new video.
I really like this video! You did a great job with the machine. But i think you should have used also some technic planes
9:53 All Aerodynamics/physics students cried in that clip.
Wow 👏 super cool. My favorite plane is definitely the blue power jet.
I like to call it blue angle’s
I'm amazed at your creativity in coming up with the ideas for your videos! This one is really unique and fun 👍
Thanks man!!

@@enzofredericktalaboc4931yea but aviation still applies
True

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

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.
Do you mean plane?
@@ntensekid no, a stronger catapult.
13:03
You can actually see it catches a little air going down. Not enough to fly though.
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
Such a cool dog
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)
WOW This dude always surprises me I agree that the blue 1 flew the best
You just created a Lego illusion my man I was shocked for the least 1:34
I just love this man when he builds and tells us the cm and calculation he teaches me some stuff
10:30 It's named the Guardians Ship because it's the ship of the Guardians of the Galaxy 😉
And it’s not called the Milano bc it’s the benatar
6:45 a helicopter has fall into the river build the man HEY
As a trainee pilot, I almost lost the will to live when he put the flaps UP!
Can we talk about how he nailed that “Hey!”?
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!
Omg , the blue power jet lego creator set give me flashbacks of my childhood lol

@@nataszafudyma4917 having flaps up will push air up pushing the nose down but if you have the flaps down it will push air down pushing the nose up, hope this helps :)
The aerodynamics, the air has to travel over it so as it pushes over it, it pushes the wings doen
Your actually right after I heard him I was thinking hmm that’s not right
12:55 Yes, you should. It's like a missing piece in a puzzle. There's Land and Air, but you're missing Sea.
