Designer of moving mechanisms Aircraft starter, vinyl 198 parts

In the lineup of Ugears wooden designers, an unusual game model "Airplane Launcher" appeared, a mechanical launcher that charges you with positive emotions and allows you to spend fun with family and friends.

The aircraft starter is a mechanical device with a manual catapult for light aircraft made of paper or plywood. The design is unique in that it combines fascinating mechanics and the fantasy theme of space adventures. The implemented design is ultimately similar to space technologies and is made in the traditional style of Ugears "stimpank skeleton" designers, which allows you to look at the design from the inside and evaluate the work of the entire mechanism.

Structural mechanics

Starter is equipped with motor on rubber providing tension. Released, the cocked mechanism pushes the aircraft with force, sending it into flight. The trigger of the wooden device is protected by a fuse on the model handle. The launch range and tension depends on the degree of the plant and reaches 30 meters. The stronger the plant of your launch model is cocked, the further the aircraft will fly. A special footrest turns the trigger handle into a base for an airplane.

The airplane starter easily lays in the arm, allowing you to carefully aim, thanks to  ergonomic design.

In the set there is a glider made of plywood and cardboard, as well as two airplanes made of dense paper in the type of "drawing." By changing the position of the wings and other parts of your aircraft, you can perform various aerobatics - "loop," "barrel," "slide," turns and other maneuvers. You can also create your own aircraft design by following the recommendations of Ugears engineers on the use of light materials: paper, cardboard or balsa.
