Release time:2025-04-01/Page View:24

Aircraft model full name aerospace model, as the name suggests, is a model aircraft made in accordance with the shape of the aircraft, is a kind of unmanned aircraft for motion. According to the rules of the International Federation of Aircrafts competition, "an aircraft model is a heavier-than-air, size-limited, with or without an engine, and cannot be manned." Model aircraft have moved beyond the narrow scope of research by aerospace scientists and become a means of learning and exercise for aerospace and flight enthusiasts.


A model airplane is actually a miniature version of an airplane, which can fly in the air like a real airplane. However, the model plane is not easy to fly! It needs to be made with our hearts and manipulated with wisdom.


Don't look at him as a model, but he has everything on the aircraft: from the nose, fuselage, wings, tail, to the invisible principle of lift generation and the understanding of different power aircraft, there is a lot of knowledge!


In 2017, model aircraft was officially approved by the State General Administration of Sport as a military sports competition event, and was included in the National Games for the first time. What do you know about model aircraft sports?


Model aircraft movement is a comprehensive sport that includes aerodynamics, materials science, machinery, manufacturing technology, engine construction principles, combustion chemistry, woodworking technology, fitter technology, radio technology, etc. Air model sport is an air sport in which flying and manipulating homemade air models are used to compete and make record flights. Aviation model is a prototype aircraft with size and weight restrictions, divided into free flight (code F1), wire control circular flight (code F2), radio remote control flight (code F3), like real model (code F4) 4 categories, a total of 26 kinds. The competition is divided into events and record events. Aircraft models are mainly divided into fixed wing, helicopter, multi-rotor. Main features, fixed wing: fixed wing is the aircraft with wings that we usually see, passenger planes, fighters, fast, not affected by mountains, rivers, deserts, oceans; Helicopter: single propeller, low take-off conditions; Multi-rotor: also called multi-axis aircraft, he is by three or more independent power systems to carry out a variety of control actions, usually seen at most is used for shooting. The system is highly intelligent and has high attitude maintaining ability of aircraft, so it has a wide range of application fields and research value.


There are many model aircraft competitions, and the probability of ranking is large, the national competition is once a year, and the provincial competition is twice a year. Stunt, aerial combat, fancy flight, remote control airdrop, two-plane separation point, remote control electric glider, remote control helicopter stunt, mission flight, spot landing, etc.
