LEGO: Fly The Friendly Skies With These Airplane IDEAS Sets

Old Hangar

Build a detailed hangar, biplane, and tractor with this 3,191-piece set.

Beside an old hangar, sunlight falls on a vintage biplane, its wings marked with cracks and dust. Nearby, a rusted small tractor stands, surrounded by scattered tools. Two people are busy: one, in overalls, is inspecting the plane’s engine, while the other, in a leather jacket, looks down at a map, occasionally glancing up at the plane with admiration. The whole scene exudes the marks of time and a quiet sense of busyness.

Cessna 172

This LEGO airplane model recreates one of the most popular planes in general aviation – the four-seat, twin-engine Cessna 172. The elevator, rudder, and ailerons move, and the pilot doors open. In the plane’s cockpit, you’ll find two adjustable pilot seats with dual yokes, plus a rear bench for passengers or cargo.

Wright Brothers: First in Flight

Recreate the Wright Flyer with this set that features the craft’s wood and canvas design. The biplane has two stacked wings, an engine, and propellers, as well as the pilot’s seat and controls, the front double elevator, and the rear double rudder. It’s ready for display with a stand and Orville and Wilbur Wright minifigs.

NASA X-59 Quesst

The model of the quiet supersonic jet has 925 pieces and measures nearly 33 inches long.

The X-59 was designed by NASA and built by Lockheed Martin Skunk Works in Palmdale, California. After a series of ground tests, the X-59 completed its first flight on October 28, 2025. The Quesst mission team will soon begin community response testing over the U.S., gathering feedback on perceived noise levels to better understand how aircraft noise impacts communities. The data gathered though this research will help regulators establish guidelines for supersonic travel, with the end goal of dramatically reducing air travel time and making supersonic flight part of everyday life!

Lockheed 10 Electra

This twin-engined aircraft served as a civil airliner in the 1930s that carried passengers and cargo. Amelia Earhart chose the Electra for her ill-fated attempt to fly around the world in 1937. The brick-built LEGO airplane has a removable roof, seats for passengers (nine minifigs included), a cockpit, as well as opening hatches and doors.

Boeing 737 MAX 8

This set is inspired by a modern plane that carries thousands of passengers every day – I flew in one of these just last week. The 1,420-piece LEGO airplane features a detailed fuselage, split scimitar winglets, adjustable flaps, and opening landing gear.

Douglas DC-3 PAN AM Airliner (11378)

Want to build a classic airplane now? This brick-built model of the 1930s twin-engine aircraft features a detailed cockpit and passenger cabin, retractable landing gear, and the late 1950s Pan Am color scheme. You can remove fuselage sections to explore the interior details and display it with its crew – including a pilot, stewardess, flight attendant, and purser.

Leonardo da Vinci’s Flying Machine (10363)

Go back to the High Renaissance with this set. Build the iconic artist’s ornithopter that has an open airframe with flappable textile-covered wings that move thanks to string, hinges, and pulleys. Display it with the included stand and an attachable Leonardo da Vinci minifigure holding a quill and sketch.
