**Aviation** bricks are bricks used to build helicopters, planes, and other air vehicles. This category includes numerous types of bricks, including the blade holder, flap, helicopter engine, propeller, rotor, blade, and wing.

## Appearance

### Blade Holder

The blade holder is a 1x2x2 brick with an axle on one side, and the other side in a "U" shape. The axle allows it to attach to a rotor, and the "U" shape allows blades to fit inbetween the blade holder.

### Flap

The flap is a 1x4x⅓ or 2x8x⅓ brick, similar to an  actuator. The same brick is attached on the other side, only missing any studs or inlets.

### Helicopter Engine

The appearance of a helicopter engine is dependent on the size. The 5x2x2 helicopter engine is a small trapezoidal prism with a small propeller in the front, and a vent in the back. An axle is located on the top, allowing a rotor to be attached on top. The 8x4x2 helicopter engine is very similar to the 5x2x2 helicopter engine, but is doubled in width and is much longer. The 12x8x5 helicopter engine is the largest one, and is two large cylinders with small fans on both sides, and metal cones over them.

### Propeller

The appearance of a propeller is dependent on the size. The 1x5x5 propeller is small and has only two blades, while the 1x10x10 propeller is much larger and has three blades.

### Rotor

The appearance of a rotor is dependent on the size. The 3x3x⅔ rotor is a small cross shape, with a hole in the bottom for the helicopter engine. The propellers must be attached directly to the 3x3x⅔ rotor. The 8x4x1 rotor is much rounder and larger, with eight holes for blade holders, and another at the bottom for the helicopter engine. Unlike the 3x3x⅔ rotor, the blades cannot be attached directly, and require blade holders to attach.

### Blade

The blade is a long helicopter blade, either 2x20x⅓ or 2x26x⅓. These can be attached to either a 3x3x⅔ rotor or a blade holder.

### Wing

The wing is a plane wing of various sizes.

## Gameplay

Each aviation brick has its own unique puspose. The blade holder, as the name implies, is used to hold blades and attach them to 8x4x1 rotors. The flap is used to steer vehicles in air or water. The helicopter engine is used to build a helicopter when combined with a rotor and blades. The propeller is used to generate thrust when spinning at high speeds. It must be attached to an axle to work. The rotor is used to rotate blades. The blade generates lift in combination with the rotor and helicopter engine. And finally, the wing is used to make planes.
