4M – Electric Plane Launcher

Take paper plane adventures to new heights with the 4M Electric Plane Launcher. This exciting STEM kit allows children to build a motorised launcher capable of propelling paper planes at speeds up to 40 km/h. The comprehensive set includes all components needed to construct the launcher, featuring two rotating wheels powered by an electric motor. Once assembled, children can design and fold their own paper planes, then use the launcher to send them soaring through the air. The launcher’s legs can be adjusted to experiment with different launch angles, encouraging scientific exploration of aerodynamics and projectile motion. This hands-on activity demonstrates principles of energy transfer, showing how the rotational energy of the wheels is converted into the kinetic energy of the flying plane. Children can experiment with various paper plane designs to see which fly furthest or perform the best acrobatics when launched at high speed. The Electric Plane Launcher promotes understanding of physics concepts while developing engineering skills during assembly. It’s an excellent tool for science fairs, classroom demonstrations, or backyard experiments. Adult supervision required due to high-speed launches. Suitable for ages 14 and above. Requires batteries (not included)[3][7]. [https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/electric-plane-launcher/6713191000.html]
