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
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
9:53 You put the flaps in the wrong direction, they're supposed to be down! How they would have worked if they were down: When the plane moves, the air near the wings moves from the front of them to the back. If the flaps were down, the wing would be sligthly curved in a way that the air instead of passing under the wing, it would also be pushed a little down witch creates more lift.
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
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?)
@@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 :)
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.
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
One thing I really love about lego is, you don't know what are you're gonna make until you step in and start building yoirself! Ideas just come and go and it's really, really awesome! I ❤ LEGOS!
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
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
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.
