Score: 4.3/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 4, Documentation: 3, Utility: 2)

OpenPlane is an open-source aircraft project providing a bill of materials, cost estimates, and preliminary performance calculations for a foldable-wing light aircraft, with a test plan modeled on BCAR Section S. It's interesting for making aircraft design data accessible, but remains unproven with no physical prototype and limited engineering analysis.

Target audience: hobbyist aircraft builders, aerospace engineering students, makers
