With nitro fuel prices rising, there has never been a better time to consider moving to an electric RC helicopter. One chopper that offers the RC helicopter pilot the opportunity to fly both indoors and outside is the Heli-Max Novus 125 CP. This micro helicopter is a durable platform that is a true joy to fly.
The Novus 125 is designed to be a chopper that provides the best of all options possible for a pilot. It is small and light enough for indoor flight, but is built with enough strength and stability to be flown outside in most conditions. Also the best feature of the Novus 125 CP is that it comes with all of the equipment you need to get in the air. It comes equipped with a 2.4Ghz 6-channel transmitter and spare parts like rotor blades and torque tube gears that can break in a crash. Therefore, it is a great chopper for a beginning pilot.
In addition to all of these great features, the Heli-Max Novus 125 CP mounts a powerful 10,000kV brushless electric motor and a solid electronic speed control. This means that this RC helicopter is equipped to be one of the most powerful...
Gas powered RC helicopters are some of the toughest and most exciting choppers to take to the sky in the RC world. These birds exhibit all of the power, torque, and top-notch flight performance of their full-scale cousins in a small package that is simply amazing. While these helicopters may look similar to their electric counterparts, they differ tremendously in the fact that gas powered RC helicopters are the most realistic thing you can fly short of sitting in the cockpit of a full-scale high-performance helicopter. Overall, these RC birds offer their pilots the chance to experience first-hand the exhilarating excitement of flying a top-notch chopper.
The V22-Osprey was an aircraft that began as a figment of the imagination of the US armed forces and related parties. It is a tiltrotor aircraft that can takeoff vertically, considered a VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing), as well as an STOL (short takeoff and landing), while also being capable of converting into a turboprop airplane capable of high-speed, high-altitude flight. The aircraft was a quite costly and deadly "research project" that began in 1982 that has since gone into production and use. These factors made it a controversial project at time, however its benefits have surpassed the challenges presented along the path of its development.
In the world of motorcycling there is a manufacturer and their bikes that stand out over all the rest. Harley-Davidson motorcycles are the best motorcycles in the world because of heritage and tradition, the come back after a difficult era, and the support from the bike owners that is a carefully maintained cult.
The enthusiast driver has to know their machine and their own personal limits when considering these two units. Although they are very similar, turbos and blowers are also very different.
longer and lighter with lower geared engines than the typical dirt bike. Trial bikes are
In 1957, the army began developing a new fighting force based on the helicopter. ...
The Terminal Velocity of a Paper Helicopter Introduction. Terminal velocity is the resulting occurance when acceleration and resistance forces are equal. As an example, a freefalling parachutist before the parachute opens reaches terminal velocity at about 120mph, but when the parachute is opened, terminal velocity is reached at 15mph, which is a safe speed to hit the ground at. This experiment will be no different, as I will be examining the terminal velocity of a freefalling paper helicopter.
To make comparing easier, a 2004 Ford SVT (Special Vehicle Teams) Mustang Cobra and a 2000 Acura Integra Type R will be used as the comparison. The engine in the Mustang is a 4.601 liter, 280.8 cubic inch V-8 engine with 32 valves DOHC (Dual Over Head Cams), sequential electronic fuel injection, and an Eaton Generation IV roots-type supercharger, with a TTC T-56 6 speed Manual creating 390 break horse power at 6000 RPM and 389 foot pounds of torque at 3500 RPM. It has a 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds, a quarter mile time of 12.6 seconds at 112 mph, and has a limited top speed of 155 mph. The Integra has a B18C5, 1.797 liter, 110 cubic inch, 4 cylinders, 16 valves DOHC VTEC engine. It creates 195 horse power at 8000 RPM and 130 foot pounds of torque at 7000 RPM. It has a 0-60 mph time of 6.5 seconds, a quarter mile time of 14.7 seconds, and has a limited top speed of 135 mph.
The word drone is the most widely recognised definition and an umbrella name for a pilotless aircraft; the etymology of the name itself thought to have stemmed from the characteristically low humming noise the machines make, or rather with entomological connotations, from early drones being painted with black stripes on the fuselage, making the aircraft look like a male honeybee (a drone) . As drones have progressed over the years they have developed a number of different names; Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) and Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA). In a military context, a drone is a small-unmanned aircraft with video surveillance technology, they can be large as commercial plane or as small as a bird; the key attribute of a drone being that they can be controlled from a distance, removing the possibility of danger to a pilot’s life.

The Boeing Vertol CH-113 Labrador is a versatile tandem rotor transport helicopter with Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) rotor blades. These rotors are composed of a honeycomb core and a titanium spar both wrapped with GFRP, and a protective titanium erosion plate on the leading edge of the rotor blade. The honeycomb core and titanium spar are attached with glue and held firmly in place by the GFRP. To apply GFRP first the glass fibers are wrapped around the structure and then soaked in a plastic resin. Once the GFRP has
Army Aviation is an evolving, and ever-changing organization. The future of Army aviation fixed-wing, focusing mainly on the potential for the ‘Tilt-Rotor” variation of fixed wing aircraft, which are being looked at as an option for a future airframe in the Army, as well as the potential to increase Army aviation’s effectiveness and the impact that it would have on the Army and the economy.
The helicopter has demonstrated in the combat role to be a great benefit in the battlefield. Throughout history, helicopters has been modified to support several missions such as supply, close air support, medical extraction, surveillance, extraction and infiltration of armed forces members. The apache helicopter has proven to be a major asset in the US Army in combat. Since its first flight in 1975, the apache has shown its versatility and capability in the combat field.
It is essentially a battery-powered-board with two motors, 18 battery cells, and two foot-holds – three features that will allow you to ride up to speeds as fast 20 mph with an 8-mile range. The board's hand-held remote is also used to start the board and will let you control exactly how much power is being sent to the board at any given time. Cruise and break just as you would in snowboarding, with speed checks and full stops. This means that snowboarders everywhere can recreate the sensation of riding down a mountain, while commuting on the board in the streets of
Throughout history, man has been fascinated by the thought of flying among the clouds. But recently it seems that man is slowly starting to come back down to earth and complete aviation-required tasks with two feet firmly on the ground. As impossible as it may seem, aeronautics and aviation are doing something almost unfathomable: letting airplanes fly without a pilot. This amazing feat is being done through the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). These spectacular aircrafts are revolutionizing the aviation industry by using incredible technology and the brightest minds from all around the globe.
