A Frenet-Serret plane! That is, it is a model jet with arrows for the tangent, normal, and binormal and an osculating plane. I hope that this can be a teaching aid for you and help your vector calculus students understand the Frenet-Serret frame.

It is a very easy print with no support or brim needed. It will (lightly) snap together so you don't need glue to put it together either. This can be easily scaled as well.

I printed this in Hatchbox grey PLA, with a .20 layer height and 15% gyroid infill. I imagine that almost any settings will work for this.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

I rearranged and slightly modded the pieces and combined them into the fuselage/wings and the nose. I then added arrows for the tangent, normal, binormal vectors and osculating plane. It is still an easy print, but no longer planar.
