The first flight of the E-Fan 2.0 was originally planned for 2017 and the E-Fan 4.0 for 2019. [1] A ducted fan on the E-Fan. The E-fan is of all-composite construction and is propelled by two ducted, variable-pitch fans spun by two electric motors totaling 60 kW of power. Ducting increases thrust while reducing noise, and having the fans ...
A radio-controlled aircraft (often called RC aircraft or RC plane) is a small flying machine that is radio controlled by an operator on the ground using a hand-held radio transmitter. The transmitter continuously communicates with a receiver within the craft that sends signals to servomechanisms (servos) which move the control surfaces based on ...
Glow plug engines combined with ducted-fan units were the first achievable means of modeling a scaled-size jet aircraft. Despite the introduction of model-scale turbojet engines, electric-powered ducted fans remain popular on smaller, lower-cost model aircraft. Some electric-powered ducted fan airplanes can reach speeds of more than 320km/h ...
The world's first serially produced self-launching, manned electric aircraft with EASA type certification since 2006 [1] and a patented wing-integrated battery system, [2] the Lange E1 Antares, completed its maiden flight in 1999; since 2004, more than 100 aircraft of this type have been delivered, totalling more than 165,000 electric flight ...
Each power unit comprises a Wankel rotary engine directly driving a ducted fan. [7] [8] The housing is lined with Kevlar to contain the fan blades in the event of failure. [7] The Skycar has four such nacelles, each with two Rotapower engines mounted in tandem. All eight engines operate independently under computer control and, as demonstrated ...
Fan Facts - Greg Moore reported on the emerging world of ducted-fan model airplanes. C/L Combat - This was geared towards those interested in combat flight using control line models, by Phil Cartier. C/L Stunt - Allen Brickhaus and Dennis Adamisin wrote this column for those interested in stunt flight using control line models towards the end ...

In February 2004, a scrapped F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet was listed on eBay by Mike Landa, of Landa and Associates, with a starting bid of $1 million. He was the legal owner of the plane after purchasing it from a scrap yard and also offered to have it restored to flying condition for a Buy It Now price of $9 million.
