Let’s take a look at the milestones of aviation.  Leonardo da Vinci. In his work about the flying mechanisms in 1452-1529; He examined the flight of birds and tried to reveal the relationship between gliding dynamics and their anatomy, arguing that man could not fly without a mechanical vehicle.

The non-flying models are sometimes referred to as display, static or shelf aircraft models.    The static model  The static model  The static model (those that are not meant to fly), are mostly scaled, built and painted. They can paint the whole models or that that need to be clipped together.  These mostly range from toys to more detailed and highly accurate models that require wide space to build and many hours of work. They are made from white metal or plastic. The static models come in form of kits. This static can be for research uses like the wind tunnel models that are used for testing and developing new models. They can be modeled as a whole or parts only. The static models are not only limited to aircraft but to boats, ships, animals, soldiers, and even houses.   The flying models   The flying models or the Aeromodelling are collective…
