The son of Rod Smith, an early inventor of R/C equipment, Mark began building hand-launch gliders in the 6th or 7th grade. In his teens he followed his father's footsteps into R/C gliders. He later went on to designing R/C gliders like his 100-inch-wingspan Windfree [1] along with the 72-inch-wingspan Wanderer which were the best-sellers for ...
The Lange Antares is a glider built by Lange Aviation produced with three different wingspans, 18, 20 and 23 meters. The 20 and 23 meter variants can be equipped with a 42-kW electric motor and SAFT VL 41M lithium-ion batteries.
RC Scale model aircraft can be of any type of steerable airship lighter-than-air (LTA) aviation craft, or more normally, of the heavier-than-air fixed wing glider/sailplane, fixed-wing single or multi-engine aircraft, or rotary-wing aircraft such as autogyros or helicopters.
A traditionally built '100S' class thermal soaring glider A radio-controlled glider is a type of radio-controlled aircraft that normally does not have any form of propulsion.

Crews are working to replace a Rolls-Royce engine in one of Boeing's (BA) five 787 Dreamliner test jets after the engine experienced a power surge before takeoff. It's not yet clear if the 787's ...
The Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 is a high-bypass turbofan engine produced by Rolls-Royce, one of the two engine options for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, competing with the General Electric GEnx. It first ran on 14 February 2006 and first flew on 18 June 2007 before a joint EASA/FAA certification on 7 August 2007 and entered service on 26 October 2011.
The Monarch first flew in 1974 and was designed to be both a powered self-launching sailplane and also a pure glider, depending on whether an engine was fitted. The glider version is suitable for car-tow or winch-launching. [1] [2] The aircraft is built from fiberglass and epoxy laminates. The wing uses a D-cell leading edge.
