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
But the with such a fixed wing design, that usually needs the wide open spaces to operate. So clearly not an urban application, but then again, what evokes "adventure" more than the wide open spaces? Or, DJI may be set to enter the racing drone market. Drone racing is getting so huge that there's even coverage of it on
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.
that ability to drop bombs. These drones can be controlled from a very far distance, but as any
This motocross bike is scaled down to ensure it is a great off road, battery powered motocross dirt bike. It will be ready to go when you are, wherever you want to go. You can also choose from red or blue bike colors. Either way, you will have a frame geometry and super cross inspired style that provides high performance.
It was the first helicopter introduced, with although it being intended to be used for medical evacuations and a utility helicopter, it then transformed into being a helicopter that was served both as an armed escort and/or as an attack gunship. Then came the mass production of the Bell AH-1 Huey Cobra. The Huey, the first turbine-powered helicopter, came to serve as an escort for transportation helicopters and unarmed helicopters. The longer the war carried on, the more Huey's were being brought to Vietnam. At the end of the war it had the most combat flight hours of any war, and with that being said, it also sadly was the most helicopter with pilot and crew members K.I.A. and also had the most destruction's within helicopters with 3,305 of the 7,000 Huey's produced being destroyed. One of the most important helicopters after the Iroquois and the Huey was the Boeing CH-47 Chinook. The Chinook was a tandem rotor (double rotor), heavy lifting helicopter. It could fit up to 3 crew members and had a maximum capacity of 33-35 troops. It was used heavily for troop movement, artillery movement and placement and for battlefield resupplying. It was used for tactical and combat support missions. The main reason for its used though was because of the fact it could carry so many troops, they had to find the perfect place, so the Chinook was known for its ability to find strange places to land, such as the edge of large hills and mountains. The last of the helicopters were manufactured by Sikorsky. Sikorsky have all types of helicopters that were needed in order to win a war, they had pave low/gunships, medivacs, and transportation choppers for both troops and artillery. Then the day finally came when the helicopters were put to a test. The Northern Vietnamese had been closing in on the Southern Vietnamese capital and an evacuation was needed. The biggest helicopter evacuation in
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 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.
