When it comes to building vehicles, cars are relatively easy. So are boat. Heck you can even make your own model rockets with out a hitch (mostly). But putting together a plane requires some real aviation design and expertise.
The MakerPlane is an open-source project that's looking to change all that—along with the aviation industry. Instead of going through all the aeronautical engineering to make sure your plane will fly right, the flight-experienced minds behind MakerPlane propose building a plane from digital-plans that you can fabricate using computer-controlled systems like CNC machines and 3D printers.
