Magnificent Flying Machine

£19.99
Tax included.

The Totally Glueless Magnificent Flying Machine is an automaton – a moving machine – which is made entirely from cardboard. The kit comes in a box with everything you need to get it working. Push out the pieces from the frame and slot them together by following the instructional poster. Created by a freelance paper engineer and designer in the UK called Geoff Rayner, this paper and card construction kit involves no glue at all! Once assembled, turn the handle to watch the machine ‘fly’.

There is no plastic so all the waste is completely compostable or recyclable.

The Magnificent Flying Machine is suitable for adults and children alike although it can be described more as an interactive ornament than a toy. The flying machine will delight anyone but is most suited to people over the age of eight. Younger children will certainly love it but will find it difficult to assemble without the help of an older person making it a fabulous project for the family.

We have given it a difficulty rating of 3 out of a possible 5.


Tim reckons it will take about 10 hours to construct the Magnificent Flying Machine. As someone who studied mechanical engineering in his past, he found many aspects of the design fascinating. But be aware - this is a seriously challenging kit to make!

Magnificent Flying Machine

Such a beautiful an quirky thing! The box alone is something to admire. Bought it for a friend who is good at assembling things, and she thought it was challenging enough to be fun but not so difficult that it became frustrating. It is now hanging in her window.
