Breeze Drifter mechanical Metal Time model Steel constructor kit
Breeze Drifter mechanical Metal Time model Steel constructor kit
The Frenchman Alphonse Pénaud filed the first patent for a flying machine with a boat hull and retractable landing gear in 1876, but the Austrian Wilhelm Kress was credited with building the first seaplane, the hang glider, in 1898.History of the aeroplane
The idea of crossing a boat and a plane came to people who carefully studied the world around them. As did the idea of aviation in general. Naturally, mankind leaned on the birds. I consider the beginning of the era of flying boats to be the 10s of the 20th century, although the first seaplane took to the skies in 1909. It was developed on the basis of a proprietary engine by the American inventor Curtis. And as early as 1913, the Ukrainian designer Grigorovich tested the M-1 seaplane, which began the era of flying boats.
The history of aviation honours the records set by seaplanes: two dead loops on Grigorovich's amphibious plane, the speed record of the Soviet Be-10 at 912 km/h, the largest flying boat in the world created in China already in the 1920s.
The designers of "Metal time" could not ignore this important milestone in mankind's desire to fly and presented the modular model "Breeze Drifter".
This is a prototype that has the characteristics of a typical propeller-driven seaplane. Of course, it does not float, but it has a spring mechanism that drives the propellers of the "engines".
Features, advantages
The exciting process of assembling the model leads to an amazing result: you get a beautiful, shiny, filigree model of a seaplane on your desk or in a conspicuous place in the interior, as an object of pride or as an element of a collection.
The "Breeze Drifter" model can also be part of a technical game, a furnishing item or a display with other models.
"Breeze Drifter" is gymnastics for the mind and hands, a tribute to the world's best engineers and the perfect gift for anyone who loves technology and dreams of flying.
The model has a sturdy stand, but it can also be used without it.
Like all Metal Time bricks, the Breeze Drifter is made of environmentally friendly stainless steel, which is used in the food industry and approved for the production of consumer goods and toys.
The precise cutting of the set eliminates the possibility of cuts during assembly. The parts are precisely matched and do not cause any problems when moving.
The pleasant feel, strength and aesthetics of the brushed metal positively distinguish the steel parts from the wooden or plastic parts used by other designers.
The "Breeze Drifter" is a great gift for fans of aviation and the history of mechanical engineering. It is an aesthetically positive item that can be a toy for middle-aged children, an interior decoration and an important detail on a desk.
"Breeze Drifter" - a clockwork powered model with moving propellers. This makes it a great toy for children and adults. With the models in hand, you can have flight simulations or even air battles.
Like all "Metal Time" products, this model is also an excellent model for technical creativity.
The DIY model set "Breeze Drifter" is intended for a wide range of users from 14 years.
