Alright, let’s spin some air. On this page you’ll find some great concepts of airplanes and helicopters made out of basic and simple Lego Duplo bricks.

Helicopter

The first one is pretty basic, 7 bricks are all you need to make it running and it even has a rotating main rotor! It’s distinctive structure makes a room for even more colorful ones.

Here is another one – a simple helicopter, made out of 9 pieces in total. This one is a bit more advanced, built with a set of parrallel rails. As the one above, it has a rotating rotor, cabin and rear rotor.

Acrobatic airplane

Main idea was to capture a Redbull Air Race inspired acrobatic airplane. It’s a biplane version with 2 pairs of wings stucked one above the other. Bright and lively colors are a must, of course. A concept is great for playing with toddler as it is pretty robust.

Here’s another take on an acrobatic airplane. Main feature on this one is a powerful motor, a cabin and rear wing. This time I opten for a brick representing front wheels. It makes it look a loot cooler this way.

Jumbo jet Airplane

This miniature follows my Lego Duplo miniscale design. It’s made out of 9 parts, however, you will need a 10552 set to build one exactly like this – I more than recommend this set as it gives you plenty of very useful bricks. As you can see from my other builds I use a lot of pieces from that set.

Biplane

If my other planes and copters are all somehow robust, this one is a hell to be played with. I experimented with an idea of a two-winged airplane, so-called biplane. I opted for a bigger version of airplane this time, which led to a wing related problem – the front wings were either to long or to short. What I did is a combination of 2×4 and 2×8 plates, carefully put together in a way, that upper left wing supports the bottom left and vice versa (bottom right wing supports the upper right). Final version is therefore super sleek but fragile too. I used a 2×8 plate for a rear wing and a see-through brick for a cabin. Later I found out that front wings should’ve been positioned a little more towards the front. Concept stays the same, so it won’t fall apart.
