Toy Helicopters and Planes
Come fly with LEGO® Helicopters and Planes
Since man’s first flight more than a century ago, planes and helicopters have expanded our horizons and imagination. LEGO® aircraft toys are built to make your child’s imagination take flight, and they’re fueled entirely by creative ideas. Explore - and go beyond - the clouds with these fabulous flying machines!How do planes fly?
At some point, you blowing raspberries to imitate the sound of an airplane engine won’t satisfy your child’s curiosity about this mystery. A quick and simple answer: A plane’s engines or propellers create thrust to move the plane forward. The wings are angled so they push air down as the plane moves forward—and thus lifts the plane up. (You’re welcome.)
How do you build your own plane or helicopter?
Now that you can explain to your child what makes a plane fly (see above), they may be inspired to use their newfound aircraft engineering expertise to rebuild the one they already have. Or even design their own with whatever bricks, paper, sticks or other materials. See what other aircraft fans have created!
