About Model Aircraft

Model aircraft are flying or non-flying models of existing or imaginary aircraft, often scaled down versions of full size planes, using materials such as balsa wood, foam and fiberglass. Many designs are possible, from simple gliders, to accurate scale models, some of which can be very large.

Models may be built either as static non-flying models, or as flying models (also known as aeromodelling). Construction techniques for the two are usually very different.

Promotional Use

Most of the world's airlines allow their fleet aircraft to be modeled as a form of publicity.[1] In the early days, airlines would order large models of their aircraft and supply them to travel agencies as a promotional item. These models are the most prized collectibles[citation needed].
