A fantastic introduction to advanced projects for children who are interested in both creative and STEM disciplines, the Meccano helicopter starter kit is a great way to get them started with Meccano. With 32 genuine metal components and two building tools included, it serves as an ideal introduction to more complicated projects. Having successfully constructed a helicopter, why not push your kid engineer to construct additional vehicles and even more complex structures?
Meccano is a brand of model building system that was developed in Liverpool, United Kingdom, in 1898 by Frank Hornby and his son. Plastic pieces are used in conjunction with reusable metal strips and plates to form angle girders and wheels. The system is held together by nuts and bolts to prevent it from falling apart. The construction of functioning models and mechanical devices is made possible by this method.
In 1913, under the brand name Erector, a building kit that was quite similar to this one was launched in the United States. Meccano acquired the Erector brand in 2000, bringing the company's global reach under one roof. It was in 2013 when the Meccano brand was purchased by the Canadian toy company Spin Master. Meccano has a manufacturing site in Calais, France, where they produce their products.
