Aviation modeling is a type of technical creativity, the means of which is:
- Creation of flightless scale models of real aircraft ( bench model aircraft ).
- Creation and piloting of both free-flying ( gliders , timer), and remotely controlled ( radio-controlled , cord models: high-speed, aerobatic , racing, air combat, replicas) of aircraft.
Model aircraft represent all types of aircraft.
Aircraft modeling was fairly well developed in the USSR : magazines were published, aircraft modeling circles were funded. It was the most popular among young people of school age, while at the same time, representatives of all ages were engaged in aeromodel modeling at a professional level.
Now there are aircraft modeling circles in many cities of Russia in the Centers of Children's Art . In 2007, the team of aircraft modeling at the Palace of Pioneers and Schoolchildren named after A. Gaidar ( Moscow ) celebrated its 40th anniversary. In St. Petersburg, this direction is actively developing on the basis of the Okhta Center for Children's (Youth) Technical Creativity .
At present, the world industry of model aircraft development is well developed: firms producing radio control systems, engines, models, fuel, accessories, shops, magazines, and so on, number in the hundreds. World aeronautical sport is managed by the International Federation of Aeronautics (FAI).
