Models which are commonly made in scale at 1:150 are commercial airliners - such as the Airbus A320, Boeing 777 all the way to the jumbo jets - the Airbus A380 & Boeing 747.

The Gauge '3' Society represents this aspect of 2 + 1 ⁄ 2-inch gauge railway modelling with both electric and live steam operation. Gauge '3' corresponds to NEM II scale, also known as "Spur II" in ...
An immersed area of 0.1 m 2 at 1 m lever length at a boat speed of 2.5 m/s (about 5 knots) and 5° angle of attack already generates a moment of 180 N⋅m, when the oar has a NACA0012 profile. [7] The steering force of the servo oar is transmitted to the main rudder typically involving an arrangement of two lines and four or more rolls to guide ...
