). I would like to say about this aircraft that it is an example of outstanding engineering of the last century. At the time of its creation in 1969 Boeing 747 was the largest, heaviest and most spacious passenger aircraft. Despite the initial skeptical attitude of specialists towards the aircraft, it occupied a leading position in passenger aviation for almost 35 years.
We immediately warn you that the proposed airplane model (read also) will not be so easy to make, you may need several days, but this activity will definitely be interesting and educational.
In order to make a Boeing 747 model, we will need the most accessible and common material for crafts - paper (sailboat made of paper), and, of course, we will also need scissors and glue.
First, you will need to print the scan diagrams (Figures 1 to 13) on a color or black and white printer (for this you need to ask your parents or older siblings for help). After this, cut out all the parts of the plane and, following the instructions (Figures 14 to 26), glue them together. The main thing is to act strictly according to the instructions, consistently performing all stages of assembling the model.
Let's get started!

This was the last drawing with a diagram of the aircraft parts. Now the pictures will show instructions for assembling it. Don’t be afraid of foreign words, everything here is quite simple and clear. If you have any difficulties, ask your parents for help.
Instructions for gluing an airplane model
The rare word origami, it would seem, has nothing to do with our favorite pastime from childhood - launching an airplane. However, the art of folding this figure also came to us from Japan. There they learned to make origami toys already 2000 years ago, and in the East the airplane was embodied in the beautiful and complex form of a kite, and the person who made these paper structures is in a special position.
How to make a big paper airplane
This method will allow even the most inexperienced craftsman to produce large models of Tu-sheks, Airbuses and fighter planes. Moreover, you can use for these purposes even a large landscape sheet or a sheet from a magazine. You can even take a roll of wallpaper if you wish: the main thing is to follow the technology.
So, take a large piece from the album and fold it in half along a vertical line. Lay out the sheet and bend the top two corners toward the center. All that remains is to fold the sheet from both sides to the very middle and spread the wings. The Airbus is ready to fly!
How to make a paper airplane: instructions
The most popular is the traditional folding type, which includes only 6 folding steps. To make an airplane, you only need a sheet of cardboard or A4 paper from a regular school album.
- First of all, bend the left (right) edge and straighten the sheet. This way, even a child will understand where the middle is.
- The second step is to fold the corner so that it completely touches the fold in the center of the piece, and we will begin to bend the right corner from above.
- The third stage - you need to bend the corner formed near the central fold.
- The goal of our actions at this point is to ensure that the sides of the corners do not reach a few centimeters to the fold in the very center.
- We are almost done: now it is enough to bend the tip. It should hold the folded corners.
- And finally, the last sixth stage - we bend the fake in half, and again with the side facing the main fold. Let's launch our fighter into the air!
Have a great flight!
Attention!
This technique is considered the most common and children begin to learn how to make airplanes with it. .
How to make a paper fighter: video
You can try to make something unusual from a sheet, for example, the iconic aircraft from America Stealth (in English the name sounds like Stealth). The video shown on English, nevertheless, it is understandable even to a person without knowledge of the language. The explanations given are easy and simple. The curves are clearly depicted with a pen.
This plane differs from previous models in that it does not fly. But the craft is so beautiful and impressive that it will certainly become part of your favorite war game. For making prefer colored paper, which will make the model winning and bright.
A paper airplane that flies for a long time
A jet with a long flight is every child's dream. At the same time, some craftsmen know why flight time and distance depend, and from time to time they demonstrate their skills by making “long-flying” models.
What secrets can you remember to make your plane fly long and beautifully?
- The main thing in any model is a neat tail. The better the bends in the model, the longer it will stay in the air. Wrong tail - don't expect the plane to float.
- Try to make the origami symmetrical: then the cardboard plane will not fall over and will stay in the air much longer.
- Bend your wings slightly: this secret also affects the duration of the flight. Some kids who know how to bend their wings correctly become winners of airliner competitions at school or in the yard.
- The leaf should be thin: then the craft will descend more slowly and stay in the air longer.
Just a few tricks - and your craft will become the best and will help you gain fame as the best and most experienced “pilot”.
The giant double-deck Airbus A380 is the largest passenger aircraft in the history of world aviation, with a maximum capacity of 853 passengers in a single-class configuration. The first copy was delivered to the customer in 2007; to date, more than 110 vehicles have been built! Today I want to show the A380 assembly line at the Toulouse plant, the scale and size of what I saw is impressive... Well, for a big plane - big photos in the report!
Many spotters, and not only them, consider the plane aesthetically unattractive. I categorically disagree with this statement, moreover, I think it is especially beautiful and elegantly heavy. The A380 taking off slowly is beautiful!
Now let's go to the factory...
This is a diagram of the location of production facilities at a plant in the town of Balagnac near Toulouse, orange is the A380 assembly shops.
Each A380 aircraft consists of approximately 4 million individual components and 2.5 million parts, manufactured by 1,500 companies in 30 countries.
The main elements of the A380 fuselage cannot be transported by air, so they are transported by sea and river on specially adapted barges, and then twice a month by car - this is called "night convoy".
Especially for this aircraft, Airbus has developed a unique logistics system that involves sea, river, air and road transport. From the town of Lisle-Jourdain, approximately 30 km from Blagnac, at exactly 22:00, the night convoy begins moving at a speed of 15-20 km/h, so as not to interfere with traffic - six trailers on which all parts of the aircraft are placed depart in a two-hour way to the final point - the final assembly line in Blagnac.
Fuselage sections with a diameter of 7 meters are transported straight through the narrow streets of the town. But this is the only possible and most optimal point for delivery of aircraft elements to the plant.
At the first station, the fuselage sections are assembled and connected to each other.
Then the wings and vertical stabilizer are installed:
The wing area of the A380 is 845 m2, which is 54% more than that of the Boeing 747-400!
And it's not just a tail... it's FIVE giraffes! :)
Preparation of engine pylons:
The aircraft is assembled and the passenger compartment and cockpit are installed at the following positions:
Each of the main landing gear can withstand a load of up to 260 tons, which is equivalent to the weight of 200 Golf cars
And finally, the last assembly station, where the installation of engines and passenger seats is carried out:
The A380 can be equipped with two types of engines: Rolls-Royce Trent 900 or Engine Alliance GP7000. Only two of the four engines are equipped with thrust reversers.
Reducing noise levels was an important design requirement for the A380, which was partly reflected in the design of the engines. Both engine types enable the aircraft to meet the QC/2 departure and QC/0.5 arrival noise limits set by London Heathrow Airport.
The A380 is the most fuel-efficient aircraft in its category. This is the only long-haul airliner that consumes less than 3 liters of fuel to transport a passenger per 100 km (typical layout of 525 seats)
The total area of the A380 cabin is 554 m2. Two full decks: the main deck is the widest passenger cabin in the world (6.5 m); the upper deck is a full-fledged cabin of a wide-body aircraft (5.8 m). The aircraft's air conditioning system is equipped with the most modern filters, which ensure uniform air supply to all parts of the aircraft. The air in the aircraft cabin (volume 1570 m3) is completely replaced every three minutes! The A380 has the quietest passenger cabin in the history of world aviation, I was personally convinced of this on the way from Frankfurt to Singapore.
This A380 will presumably be transferred to a private customer. And behind it, the A300B is the first aircraft produced by Airbus. This aircraft revolutionized civil aviation in the 70s, becoming the first wide-body twin-engine aircraft.
The circular structure on the right is the static engine testing area, with barriers around the circle limiting the distribution of the sound wave.
To date, more than 110 A380 aircraft have been produced; an average of 2.5 aircraft are produced and delivered to customers every month. The order backlog is another 160 aircraft! IN at the moment The A380 is in service with 20 airlines.
Here are some interesting statistics on B777/B747 replacement on some flights:
Emirates has the largest A380 fleet:
Five A380s were built for demonstration and testing purposes. The first A380, serial number MSN001 and registration F-WWOW, was unveiled at a ceremony in Toulouse on January 18, 2005, and first flew on April 27, 2005. Here is the very first A380:
Airbus A340 (Russian: Airbus A340) is a long-range four-engine wide-body jet passenger aircraft developed by Airbus SAS. In general it is similar to the A330. In 2006, the Airbus A340-600 was the world's longest passenger aircraft with a fuselage length of 75.3 meters.
The A340 aircraft project (originally TA11 (TA - twin aisle - “wide-body”)) was first presented to the public in 1981 in the November edition of Air International magazine. The issue also indicated the expected characteristics of the future aircraft. In September 1982, the consortium announced that the new aircraft would have a common airframe design.
The A340 development program was launched in June 1987. The goal is to create a long-haul “brother” for the short-haul A320 and medium-haul A300. At that time, twin-engine Airbus aircraft were inferior to the four-engine Boeing 747 according to ETOPS standards: twin-engine aircraft during a flight must always be at a minimum distance from a possible emergency airfield in case one of the engines fails. In this regard, the A340 was a fundamentally new aircraft in the Airbus family, created specifically for intercontinental flights.

cutting
Step 1 Before you start cutting out parts, clear your workspace of unnecessary things and papers so that you do not lose small parts.
Before cutting parts from the sheet, lightly press down the folds. ballpoint pen with a dried rod or something similar. The main thing is not to scratch the surface of the paper.
This will help you make neater curves along the line.
Step 2 Cut each sample individually, leaving enough margin around the edges.
Step 3 After you have cut out the part, carefully write the number on the back side, so you can keep track of which parts you have.
Step 4 Carefully trim off any excess margins on each piece.
Step 5 Always cut along the outer edge of the black line. That way, when you start assembling the pieces, they will fit together well.
Folding parts.
Use a ruler when bending straight sections. For the inside fold, place a ruler along the fold line. Then lift the paper and press it against the edge of the ruler.
External bend. To make an outer bend, place a ruler on the edge of the table and place the template on top. Carefully align the fold line with the edge of the ruler and fold the paper down.
Curved parts To give the part a natural bend, you need to rub it on the corner of the table. This will make gluing easier.
You can also wrap the part around a pencil, and then unfold it and give the part the desired rounding radius.
Bonding
Waiting for the glue to dry completely is key to ensuring good model assembly results.
If you have glue on your hands, you will ruin your models, so make sure you always have clean hands and wash your hands immediately or dry them with a damp towel.
Step 1 Use clear, quick-drying glue. Optimally - PVA. Squeeze a small amount of glue onto a piece of cardboard or plastic.
Step 2 Then, using a strip of construction paper or cardboard like a spatula, scoop out the glue. Remember to apply glue to only one side of the spatula.
Step 3 Use this spatula to apply an even, thin layer of adhesive to the flap for bonding.
Step 4 Hold the parts tightly in the gluing area until the glue dries completely.
Step 5 Assemble the parts separately and wait until they are completely dry before assembling the entire model!
