  2. Wing configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_configuration

    The wing configuration of a fixed-wing aircraft (including both gliders and powered aeroplanes) is its arrangement of lifting and related surfaces. Aircraft designs are often classified by their wing configuration. For example, the Supermarine Spitfire is a conventional low wing cantilever monoplane of straight elliptical planform with moderate ...

  3. Kraft Super Fli - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraft_Super_Fli

    The Super Fli's designer, Phil Kraft, was a champion builder and flier of radio-controlled model aircraft who in 1972 decided to apply this expertise to the design of a full-size aircraft. The design therefore reflected guidelines normally applied to model aircraft, particularly in its wing design, areas, and moments.

  4. Wing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing

    A swept wing KC-10 Extender (top) refuels a trapezoidal-wing F-22 Raptor. A wing is a type of fin that produces lift while moving through air or some other fluid. Accordingly, wings have streamlined cross-sections that are subject to aerodynamic forces and act as airfoils. A wing's aerodynamic efficiency is expressed as its lift-to-drag ratio.

  5. Model aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_aircraft

    A model aircraft is a physical model of an existing or imagined aircraft, and is built typically for display, research, or amusement. Model aircraft are divided into two basic groups: flying and non-flying. Non-flying models are also termed static, display, or shelf models. Aircraft manufacturers and researchers make wind tunnel models for ...

  6. Free flight (model aircraft) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_flight_(model_aircraft)

    F1B Model by Stepan Stepanchuk. Free flight is the segment of model aviation involving aircraft with no active external control after launch. Free Flight is the original form of hobby aeromodeling, with the competitive objective being to build and launch a self controlling aircraft that will consistently achieve the longest flight duration over multiple competition rounds, within various class ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wainfan_Facetmobile

    The wing section is an 18% thickness ratio, much thicker than the typical 12-15% thickness of normal light aircraft wings. At least one commercial model airplane kit of the Facetmobile is in production. [3] The prototype FMX-4 Facetmobile crashed on October 13, 1994, after an in-flight engine failure.
