I want to draw a plane using the Tikz tool. You will find, attached, a screenshot.

    Please kindly provide a minimal working example to show your effort and to show what your problem is. May 17, 2013 at 13:53

    Though it might be fun to try, your question sounds like: "Please do this difficult drawing for me for free. Thanks." As @ClickMe says, explaining what you've tried yourself (preferably with some code) would help get past that impression.

    Friends, please do not downvote this question if the score is already -1. May 17, 2013 at 14:07

    The question has received quite some downvotes. We should explain the OP (@physics) why we think that this question is "bad": Drawing such a complex graphics with tikz is a tedious job and it might be done much easier with the right tool. Since we don't know what the purpose is to do that with tikz, nobody will of course spend an hour or two drawing that airplane in tikz. If you (the OP) already have say 90% of the code, our job would easier and we know where the difficulty is.

    I would just like to note that the TeX Stack Exchange community is one of the best communities I have encountered on the internet so far and that it is a pleasure and an absolute joy to be a part of it (although I am not talking much, I read Q&As every day). I appreciate it! Perhaps beautiful typography is one of the ways to find the best in people. :-) May 17, 2013 at 22:04

That picture mode would be the ideal tool for the job here:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{picture}(200,100)
\put(30,40){\line(1,0){150}}
\put(30,40){\line(0,1){60}}

    @SeanAllred the fuselage has been aerodynamically tuned to the extent that an additional wing on the tail is not needed in this design. Feb 21, 2015 at 16:32

    It could take somebody a few minutes to realize it is just a drawing, not a real plane. If drawing a plane is an art, you are its Picasso. :)

I would politely discourage anyone from drawing extremely technical drawings like this one using pure LaTeX (TikZ or PStricks). Here I'm actually referencing abstract/non-mathematical drawings, including an airplane with Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines. Why?

Well, there are many other applications that you can use and easily export to a graphics format that can be included into your document using \includegraphics from graphicx.

For example, searching the Google Sketchup 3D Warehouse for airplane gives you detailed 3D models of everything from a Boeing:

Boeing

to a paper airplane (on graphing paper!):

Paper airplane

to a vintage toy wooden airplane:

Vintage toy plane

Another 3D graphic tools, Sketch:3D Scene Description Translator not to be confused with google sketchup draws two- or three-dimensional solid objects and scenes by describing them in a tiny input language. Sketch emits PSTricks or TikZ/PGF code and allows embedding arbitrary LaTeX code for labeling and any other purpose the user can imagine. A novel feature allows LaTeX objects to be positioned with respect to 3d points in the scene. More details have a look at Italian document titled "Illustrazioni tridimensionali A con Sketch/LaTeX/PSTricks/Tikz nella didattica della Dinamica del Volo by A De Marco" at arstexnica no 4, Oct 2007. Some more related examples/hints by author

Figure 8(a) in above article 3D Illustrations using sketch of aircraft:

3D Illustrations using sketch of aircraft

Similarly, OpenClipArt provides SVG images in abundance (sometimes more cartoon-like though), including many for airplanes. These can be converted to TikZ images using Inkscape.

Printing any of these to PDF if no other means exist (again, using free software like PDF Creator print driver or otherwise) gives you a scalable vector graphics image which you can then use to overlay your annotations using techniques described in Drawing on an image with TikZ.

  • These are great images from google. How would you include them in your document? After following the link above (for example for the paper airplane) I wind up getting a find in "dae" format. I have not idea what that is. Any suggestions?

    Jun 26, 2013 at 22:41
  • @A.Ellett: The images above are from Google Sketchup models. So (and what I typically do) is open up the model in Sketchup and print it to PDF. That transfers the model into a 2D vector graphics that you can "play" with (after playing with it to your liking in Sketchup itself). There is some loss of information (shadows, most notably). However, I'm also using the free version for these "conversions"; Google Sketchup Pro natively exports to PDF and other formats, but I haven't tried it.

You could start with something like this:

http://github.com/lahvak/TeX-stuff/blob/master/plane.tex

(I tried to include the code here, but it was too large.)

It will produce a picture like this:

Picture of a plane

You can then edit the code, clean it up, shorten it, etc.

Edit: I took the original .png image, deleted some irrelevant parts, and use potrace to get a vectorized version. That step would not be necessary if the original already was in a vector format. Then I use pstoedit to convert it to an editable format. At least the version of pstoedit on my computer does not do conversion to tikz, but metapost uses very similar syntax for path specifications, so I converted to metapost and eddited by hand.

Then I went through the file, adding color attributes to individual path to be able to locate which one is which, and, with a help of an overlayed grid, editted at least some of the paths. The editing could be carried much further, but as an example I feel this is sufficient. It is a tedious process, but IMHO it would be less work than creating the whole drawing from scratch in tikz.

As it is, it really did not take long, I had to interrupt the work several times, but altogether it took perhaps 30 minutes or so.

    I'm interested to know how you did this, and perhaps how long it took you. My answer references the fact that non-mathematical yet technical drawings like this is better-suites for other languages. My first instinct is a tracing mechanism that takes (as input) any image and yields (as output) a vectorized version - almost like OCR.

    May 18, 2013 at 13:08
  • @Werner I had the same thought hence resisted to post. But nevertheless potrace or autotrace to trace to vector and then inkscape2tikz to spit out TikZ code looks good. This process may need touchup time or more work to be done in TikZ to remove bad conversions. May 18, 2013 at 19:14

fontawesome now offers a scalable alternative to the symbol from bbding, offering both an aeroplane symbol proper and two versions of a paper aeroplane.

awesome aeroplanes

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontawesome}
\begin{document}
  \faPlane \faPaperPlane \faPaperPlaneO
\end{document}

And the font even scales correctly when compiled with pdfTeX. If you have problems with scaling make sure your TeX distribution is current as an earlier version was buggy in a way which affecting scaling with pdfTeX (but not Xe/LuaTeX).
