Aircraft Engine Workshop. Mini Fig. Scale & Working

Hi brick engineers and turbo fans,

 

Welcome at the propulsion laboratory. Today we work on the brand new nXt-PT2024-4.0.B.

After assembly you have a strong, working turbo fan engine which is true to minifig scale.

 

 Animated version to show the design principles

 

 This idea behind this set was to create a working aircraft engine at minifig scale (approx. 1:42), which could be assembled like a real one. All to show both size and complexity of a real aircraft engine.

The setting can be used as a test lab, assembly line or overhaul facility.

Fun to play, to display, to learn or teach.

 

You can find all info in the animation and photos. If you have a question or a remark about the idea, engine or rendering , use the “comment” button. I’ll be happy to help you. But above all: please use the “support” and “share” buttons.

 Brick built version of the real thing 

It’s a mighty piece of technology created from 2352 Technic and standard bricks.

Designing an aircraft engine like this takes years. I hope you appreciate the effort.

After studying and sketching, the idea was 3D-designed in Stud.io, while testing its structural integrity with real bricks. Later it was built with bricks into the model you see here.

 

I hope you are blown away.

Have fun at Ideas,
