How to make an airplane model from ceiling foam

Added 22 commentary

In this article I will show how to make flying model aircraft made of ceiling tiles. In order to complete the work we will need the following materials and tools:
  • Ceiling tile
  • Drawing (shown just below)
  • Match
  • Clay Titan or PVA
  • A pen
  • Awl
  • Stationery knife
  • Clothespins
  • A piece of plasticine
  • Needles
  • Fine sand paper




Step 1: cut out the patterns according to the drawing.

Step 2: we apply the cut out patterns to the tile, circle and cut out. All details except for part 1 (they are all signed on the drawing) are cut out by 2.


Step 3: We process parts 1 and 4 with sandpaper.

Step 4: glue them as shown in the photo and fix with needles. For faster drying, put the glued parts on the battery.



Step 5: parts 2 and 3 must be glued together and clamped with clothespins. We also put them on the battery.



Step 6: after the parts 2 and 3 have completely dried, with the help of sandpaper we fit them under the general profile.


Step 7: remove parts 1 and 4 from the battery and glue the other parts to them as shown in the photo.



Step 8: when all the parts are stuck together, in the lower part of the nose of the aircraft you need to make a hole with an awl and stick a match there without a sulfur head. Excess match length is cut off.



Step 9: stick a small piece of plasticine to the nose of the plane. It is needed so that the plane does not slow down with air.

Step 10: to launch the aircraft we need a special slingshot. To make it you need:
  • small fist-length timber
  • awl
  • screw
  • elastic

The bar is rounded with sandpaper. In the upper plane in the center a small hole is made with an awl where the bolt will be screwed. We do not screw the bolt to the end, we leave the distance between the bar and the cap of the bolt 3 mm. At this point we tie the elastic with 3-4 knots. Unfortunately, there is no photo of how I did it (I did it about 3 years ago).


Step 11: decorate the aircraft. The aircraft can be painted with permanent markers. If painted, it will become heavier.


Step 12: model setup and troubleshooting. If the plane decreases rapidly during flight, remove a little plasticine or bend the stabilizers slightly up (located at the end of the plane, marked with a marker). If you make a loop - lower the stabilizers down. If you make a “barrel” (spiral movements around the axis) - bend the aileron (rear end of the wing) of the wing toward which the “barrel” is being made.If the plane sharply turns in any direction - turn the back of the keels (marked with a marker, located on the top of the plane) in the opposite direction. For other questions, write in the comments.

In the friends campaign, you can hold competitions on these models in length. Also, everyone can make such an airplane model. I wish you success in creating this crafts!

Everything is fine, but the foam cuts are very rough, maybe a dull knife ...

Dmitry ... I, frankly, a little goof ... With all your aspirations to search for alternative energy, and other "high physics", have you heard about Bernoulli’s law ???
... But they heard (And for some reason I’m sure of it ... At least because my daughter, many years ago, as a schoolgirl in elementary grades, loved, fooling around, to spray at everyone from the pulverizer, shouting: "Bernoulli’s law - wherever you want, they turned there! ")))) .... And you, it seems, are not a little girl! ))) In addition, carburetors out, picking! )) And they, as you know, like the airplane wing, work on this law ...)))))
... Therefore, you, I think, are well aware that ONLY WING creates lift force !!! (I mean a plane with different linear lengths of surfaces).

Flaps (like a flat wing) are not capable of this !!! All they can do is create aerodynamic drag with the right vector, which can only lift an ultra-light vehicle (not even a glider). Otherwise, in order for the force to be substantial, super speeds will be required !! (rocket).
PS ... Uh ... And here we are talking about? ...))))


Which one was taken? Here is the flat wing of the model. A flat wing with a zero angle of attack has no lift. But this model, with flaps, can fly with a horizontal arrangement of wings relative to the Earth. That is, the wings are flat, the wing profile has no lift, the angle of attack is 90 degrees, and the model is flying, a paradox))

It flies, because the gas pressure on the flaps is such that they allow you to keep the load in the bow from taking off up or down (well, you can achieve any effect).

Well, then, in your language, in order to end the argument. - The flaps change the angle of attack of the flat wing, thereby lifting force appears at the flat wing.

Lift does not necessarily create a wing,

Only the wing!
it can be flaps.

Can not! Flaps are needed in order to use the aerodynamics to deflect the nose of the aircraft up or down.They do not create lift.
The wing can be flat (like a paper airplane), however, if you make flaps, it takes off.

Not take off, but jump
Cargo is needed for planning exclusively. Well, also for the "mass", if the model is launched from a catapult or by hand.

The load is needed for balancing! When the plane (glider ... it doesn’t matter) flies, it is the lifting force created by the planes (wings) that holds it in the air. That is, it’s “by the wings and the plane is raised”. And in this position he must be balanced. Otherwise, it will either bite its nose or "lift its nose" and become a sail ....
... Oh my god, Dmitry .... Well, elementary things, because ....


The wings only keep the plane on the path along which it flies)) Up so up, down so down. Imagine a wing under water, wherever you deploy it, it will move there. The wing itself does not have lift))

And here! Elevator! (flaps) precisely and create lift, if you want - changing the angle of the wing (or the whole plane). I then understood what you mean, but I don’t think it’s right to think like that.

Not take off, but jump


Why, have you never seriously made paper airplanes?)) It will jump if you make them at a right angle, and there will be no load in the bow)) Specifically, in this model, the planning and take-off depends on how the flap's opening angle is chosen with respect to cargo in the bow. That is, the heavier the load, the larger should be the area of ​​the flaps.

The load is needed for balancing! When the plane (glider ... it doesn’t matter) flies, it is the lifting force created by the planes (wings) that holds it in the air. That is, it’s “by the wings and the plane is raised”. And in this position he must be balanced. Otherwise, it will either bite its nose or "lift its nose" and become a sail ....
... Oh my god, Dmitry .... Well, elementary things, because ....


yes, for balancing, but the plane can fly under the influence of two forces - the engine or gravity of the Earth (planning).

Imagine a weightless aircraft with a powerful engine in the bow. With the engine turned off, it will fall with the ax down, with the speed on, the pressure will act on the flaps, lifting the nose of the plane up, as you said.
Imagine also an absolutely weightless plane with flat wings, with an engine, for take-off it does not need any weight anywhere, only flaps are needed. But with the engine turned off, it will tumble.

For planning, you need weight, with an engine, weight is not needed, as is balancing. I remain with my opinion)

Some people are amazed, you look, it’s so smart, well-read, and when it comes to living thinking, the birth of ideas, theories, it comes to creating a new one - that’s all, a complete stupor))) "But you look ... like your brother’s .. "
People are limited to stupidly copying each other, thinking very very very very little ... Well, it should be so)

With an engine, the load is not needed. While the engine pulls, the plane flies, but if the engine stalls, the plane will begin to tumble (if the motor is weightless and the plane does not have any other auxiliary loads).

Due to the fact that he distributes his weight through the wings so that he can "stay" in the air, that is, "smoothly fall"

Sorry, but somehow the wings are not quite necessary for the "weight distribution" ...)))). There is such a thing as “wing lift” and it depends on the speed of movement of this wing in a gas stream ...
And without engines, or with engines, but this force works ...

Since we have a glider plane, look at the simplest model of a glider. In front of the fuselage, “at number 5 is the“ load. ”In the plane, this load is the engine of the plane. But for each model it must have a different weight or ability to move. The main dimensions are also indicated. I asked you to look carefully. How else can I explain ?

I say that if there is an engine, the load is not necessary, the model will fly, whether it be a glider, plane or rocket) you do not agree. Explain why. Not? Well, there is no trial.

Now this part of your statement ...
A glider differs from an aircraft by the presence of an engine. In our case, this is a glider (not a plane). Before that, do you understand everything?
That glider, that the plane in the design uses the laws of aerodynamics. What am I trying to convey to you with my posts. You rushed into the wilds (about missiles), a completely different aerodynamics.
If you can’t even understand this, then how can I explain to you? Then ask specific questions ?!

The load is an analogue of the engine, as energy is the attraction of the Earth.

With a working engine, cargo is not needed.

My question is for you?

Where did these conclusions come from? The question is much more complicated, it is a kind of counterbalance and it needs to be selected. Is there an engine or not.

Have you ever built at least one aircraft?
Your airplane, in fact, is a model of a glider, not an airplane.
This is how a regular glider model works.

Pay attention to the device. And why did you drag a rocket to this topic?


If you are commenting on me, then explain what I'm wrong about, but I like to write in understandable human language, and you are "you are a fool, go look ..".

yes Sorry, I remembered an old joke in the subject.
"The village men sit and one rubs everyone how the plane is arranged and why it flies. Here one peasant turns to the storyteller. Tell me better, why the goat and the cow eat grass, the goat" peas "recovers, and the cow rolls off" cakes "? Thought "expert" is silent. Well, that’s if you don’t understand shit, you better not get on airplanes. ""

Counterweight to what? The tail part?))

A rocket, for example, has no "cargo", it flies only due to traction (jet, air ... it doesn’t matter). She needs wings only for control / stabilization.

But a rocket has a very high engine thrust in relation to mass, and airplanes often have the opposite, so airplanes need wings to plan fuel costs.

How is the plane planning? Due to the fact that he distributes his weight through the wings so that he can "hold" in the air, that is, "smoothly fall." This smooth drop for such models is a flight.

What is an engine? This is a device that transforms one type of energy into another. For example, fuel into mechanical energy, and sometimes vice versa, mechanical energy into fuel (for example, the production of hydrogen by electrolysis).
The plane is essentially the engine, as it transforms gravity into flight, into motion.

P / S I do not convince anyone of anything, just decided to reflect))

And you can just tear your nose out at startup, you need to strengthen the design with bamboo skewers or cardboard on the sides of the nose

Step 9: stick a small piece of plasticine to the nose of the plane. It is needed so that the plane does not slow down with air.

Plasticine is needed for gaining flight mass, otherwise the air resistance will be too high
