AIRCART SKETCHES

An aircart can be built in many different ways. We suggest a plan but welcome modifications. It is possible to build a better aircart and it is easy to build a worse aircart. The aircart pictured here is built from corrugated cardboard. The base begins as a flat piece 18 cm wide and 29.6 cm long. The corrugations run parallel to the long (29.6 cm) dimension. When folded, the base will be 18 cm long and 12 cm wide with triangular beams along the sides. The motor mount may be made separately and glued on. For more details see Dimensioned Drawings which suggest sizes.
