Triples
Triples
These racing spaceships were given their confusing names because of the geometry of their fins. Two ships were built, number 25 and number 52.
I built this ship as an experiment with Pythagorean Triples. the fins are 7, 24, 25 triangles. However, in Lego it is necessary to add one to each side to allow for the stud on the SNOT brick on each corner being halfway along it. This makes the triangles 8, 25, 26, which is a nice ratio to build in Lego.
There are couple of images of the internal structure and the detachable cockpit pod here:
