A LEGO ® airplane made of 9,764 bricks

Large-scale construction project at Hanover Airport Jonas (18), Nico (18) and Alexander (20) have shared their love of LEGO for many years. Their LEGO aircraft is the largest project they have ever tackled to date. In 2010 they started planning the aircraft, drawing on the Boeing 737 series for ideas. The first blueprints were drawn up during this time. Over the years they were modified repeatedly. Once complete, the blueprints were used to construct individual modules, rough versions of which were recreated using LEGO bricks. This was when the first difficulties arose regarding the accuracy of the blueprints. To get a better overview the young men quickly switched from using real LEGOs to employing digital tools. This is how the first 3D-modules came about. What started out as a replica of a Boeing-737 evolved into quite a singular aircraft which combined various features of the Airbus and the Boeing series.

Those were the last of over 9,700 LEGO bricks. Jonas, Nico and Alexander have made it. The HAJ LEGO airplane – after many long weekends it’s ready for boarding. A lot of effort has gone into getting this far: 1 meter 60 times 1 meter 60. A combination of a Boeing 737 and an Airbus. They didn’t use an assembly kit. The three do-it-your-selfers developed the model on a computer themselves, with a keen eye for detail: “We just started tackling the cockpit today. Including all the computers, the control stick. Next come the toilets, then the doors.” For six weeks now, numerous observers have eyed the large-scale LEGO project in Terminal C. On completion day Hanover Airport TV is here too, of course. After taking exclusive shots from the cockpit our cameraman even gets to try out one of the 192 seats. And they are coveted. Together with the airport the three guys made a appeal to bring as many LEGO figures as possible. Also the tabloid press reporter couldn’t find out whether this figure really is the singer Conchita Wurst. LEGO enthusiasts Jonas, Nico and Alexander have a break from stacking bricks now. “My fingers are surprinsingly well. I expected them to be more damaged. We spent about one hundred hours putting this together here at the airport. The planning phase has to be added but we didn’t time it. This was far more balanced in the 4 previous years.” The rows of the aircraft are slowly filling up. But the masterpiece won’t be taking off for the time being. “To begin with, the airplane will be on display here in the terminal. In June it will be auctioned off for charity.” So, whoever wants to see the HAJ LEGO aircraft – just visit the Terminal C departure level.
