Airplane Starter - 198 Components

The dream of flying seems just as fantastic in its beginnings as its further development to space travel. The models of the first aviation pioneers, initially designed without propulsion, were based on sketches and further developments of the flight constructions already developed in the 15th century, which were designed by none other than Leonardo da Vinci. In order to generate lift, speed is needed and thus a ramp or an airplane starter is reminiscent of the beginnings of aeronautics.

The rubber band powered wooden model from UGEARS(R) uses a blaster gun for propulsion and thus lets the attractive glider sail out into the beautiful expanse. Like all models from this brand manufacturer, the 198 individual parts of the model kit are assembled in the style of steampunk and are thus artistically oriented towards postmodern retrofuturism. This serves with its openwork mode of action as a visual object of mechanical worlds, which mimic the kinetic behavior of the butterfly wing. The present flying model by UGEARS(R) therefore flutters rather than sails. Completely detached, the artful still life thus conquers every cabinet wall and is equally suitable for art connoisseurs and model building enthusiasts.
