Abstract
A mockup of a Boeing 737-300 nose till front door is created for the purpose
of students learning regarding various design elements used in the actual
construction of the aircraft. The mockup is constructed using materials and
manufacturing techniques representative of those used in the actual production of
the Boeing 737-300. Original B737-300 is replicated in a scale-down mockup to
engage visitors and students to improve the learning of upcoming batches of IAS
(Institute of Aviation Studies). A Mockup is created to provide hands-on learning
opportunities for students in aviation programs. The Idea of a Boeing 737 mock-
up popped into our mind because B737 can best justify the traditional Boeing
design. This project imitates the exterior design of the nose part of B737-300,
visible out of the hangar in the nose out direction, employing the use of Cinema
4D, Sketch Up and aircraft reduction formula for dimensions and modelling of the
aircraft. Metal ribs was used to construct nose structure in a proportionally reduced
manner, and plaster of Paris is used to give it a proper shape. For the final look,
fiber reinforced polymer has been used for aircraft manufacturing. Nose wheels
are constructed as per reduced dimensions, and a bricked hanger textured wall is
planned to imitate the hangar
