THE ROCKET PLANE “RADIO OPERATOR” FROM ENGLAND

ROCKET A large variety of schemes and designs of radio controlled raketoplana can be divided into three groups. The first is a classic, airborne with the Elevator control and ailerons. The second scheme, a “frame”. The third aircraft with a V-shaped stabilizer. Of the above schemes interesting is the design of the model rocket glider class Ѕ8Т/R Englishman Michael Francesa, made on a frame with an inverted V-shaped stabilizer, this is due to the lower engine. This design of the tail helps to protect it from fire plume when working MRD. Will tell about this rocket plane more.

ABOUT HOW MODEL AIRCRAFT DID

THAT, AS THE MODEL WAS THE PLANEAny machine is not born suddenly starts with something more simple. It happened with the plane-monoplane. Its forerunner was destined to become a flying model. Was 1887. Professor of physics and astronomy, scientific Secretary of the Smithsonian scientific Institute of Washington Samuel Pierpont Langley was seriously interested in issues of flying heavier than air. Having done a series of aerodynamic experiments to test model wings for vertical installation — “revolving machine” Langley was engaged in the construction of flying models. But first, he carefully studied everything that was already reached before him, in particular flying models are heavier than air, which were built in 70-ies in France. At that time the greatest success in model experiments reached the Frenchman Alphonse Peno, first to use rubber motor for rotating the propeller of a model aircraft, and Austrian Wilhelm Kress.

FUEL — CO2

FUEL — CO2On 37-th Moscow city competition of young men in the micro models, held at the tennis court “Dynamo”, the attention of fans and athletes drew suddenly appeared in the air brightly colored model airplane. She almost silently circled the ceiling of the court, and after a minute or two gently landed. On refilling the tank and running the engine only took 30 seconds and was again in flight. This model installed on the original engine it says the author is the head of the aircraft modeling lab of the Moscow House of young technicians of a name of P. I. Baranov master of sports I. SHKALIKOV.

“EAGLET” FOR AIR COMBAT

Easy to manufacture, high speed and high manoeuvrability are the main qualities of this model. It fully meets modern style of air combat. The Antonov an average skill can make it ten days. The greatest investment of time will require the fuselage. First saw mount made of plywood 10 mm thick, then cut in the end: glue the pine strips of appropriate length, cross-section 10X3 mm. In the rear edge of the wing and stabilizer put the glue on the fake insert. The interval from the motor to the first insertion complete the rigid foam and the tail boom braces reinforce the phony. Outside (to the side surfaces of the slats) glue fake veneer.

TIMER MODEL HELICOPTER

TIMER MODEL HELICOPTERIn aeromodelling clubs of the pioneer of the Kominternovsky area, obsut and Kharkiv high school № 112 in a few years, work is underway on the co-axial model helicopters. Their designs are different, but they steadily fly. The following model is one of the latest versions. In the competition “Experiment 78” in the class of timed models of helicopters, she won first place.

MISSILE FOR A NUCLEAR WARHEAD

MISSILE FOR A NUCLEAR WARHEADR-5M – the first in the world military equipment of the booster of the nuclear charge. Her starting weight was 28.6 tons, flight range is 1,200 km. Developed in 1954 – 1956, OKB-1 headed by S. P. Korolev on the basis of rocket R-5. In 1955, adopted in the USSR was adopted by the missile complex R-5, launch weight and range which were respectively 29 tons and 1200 km warhead Weight – about 1 ton. At start-up to a distance of 600 – 800 km, could be applied to two or four combat suspension with the use of a combined system, control the radio and Autonomous. Compared to previous products has significantly increased the accuracy of firing the missiles.
