How to make model paper airplane

 How to make model paper airplane Do you enjoy the beautiful model aircrafts that are sold in the toy shops and on so many sites online? What kind of models could you build yourself? Paper airplanes. Building paper airplane can be as simple as getting a sheet of paper and making few folds. But there are also flying paper aircrafts with an engine and remote control or others which are exact scale models of existing real aircrafts. Some enthusiasts build even paper helicopter which can fly.

The main disadvantage of the paper aircrafts is that they easily get damaged - especially the really flying ones.Free flight aircrafts. There is a category of model airplanes called "free flight" which means they fly without any attachment to the ground or even to your hand. Most free flight models are simple - just like the simple paper airplanes that we build as kids (they are in fact free flight airplane models too). Free flight helicopters are much harder to build than the airplanes for obvious reasons, but there are people who build them - with self rotating propellers or "charged" by a rubber band mechanism.

The free flight airplanes are great enjoyment and fun.

RC Aircrafts. You will not save money by building such models yourself - the ready RC airplanes and helicopters are pretty cheap compared to the efforts to build yourself. You may build RC aircraft much easier if you buy a kit or at least a package of remote control and engine.

Static Scale Models.

Making scale models is hard exactly because you have to keep the scale of the real model. The static model aircrafts can be made of wood, mahogany, plastic or even clay. Most fans of the model aviation sooner or later want to build their own models in addition to the ones they buy and collect.

Have you ever wonder which fighter planes are mostly used in war against Iraq?
Prototyped in 1965 as the YF-16, the F-16 Fighting Falcon is an American multirole jet fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force. A lightweight fighter, it evolved into a successful multirole aircraft, successful on the export market and serving 24 countries.F-16 models are denoted by sequential block numbers to denote significant upgrades.

On 7 June 1981, eight Israeli F-16s, escorted by F-15s, executed Operation Opera, their first employment in a significant air-to-ground operation. This raid severely damaged Osiraq, an Iraqi nuclear reactor under construction near Baghdad, to prevent the regime of Saddam Hussein from using the reactor for the creation of nuclear weapons.

Russia's foreign minister Sergey Lavrov cautioned Israel against using military force against Iran.
Dogfighting armament includes AIM-7 Sparrow, AIM-9 Sidewinder, IRIS-T, AIM-120 AMRAAM anti-air missiles, as well as the staple M61 Vulcan gatling gun. Ground strikes are carried out with payloads including AGM-65 Mavericks, Paveway-series laser-guided bombs and the B61 nuclear bomb.

In fighter plane recognition, many people will think of F-14 Tomcat, F-16 Fighting Falcon and the likes. Su-27 is one such example.

The Su-27 is has a long range, heavy armament, and very high agility. The Su-27 most often flies air superiority missions, but can be deployed in multiple roles.

The Su-27 can be armed with Up to 6 medium-range AA missiles R-27, 4 short-range heat-seeking AA missiles R-73; it can also be armed for ground strike missions with air-to-surface armament.

The Sukhoi design, which was altered progressively to reflect Soviet awareness of the F-15's, emerged as the prototype T-10 (Sukhoi's 10th delta wing design), which first flew on 20 May 1977. The aircraft had a large delta wing, with two separate podded engines and a twin tail.

The Su-27 has seen some operational combat. Recently, in the 2008 South Ossetia War, Russia was using Su-27s to gain airspace control over Tskhinvali, the capital city of South Ossetia.

This total includes only Su-27s and not later derivative aircraft.

Su-27 is being featured in the flight simulator game Su-27 Flanker where players can virtually try to control the cockpit, become a virtual pilot and outwit and win. PC games are addictive.
Whenever I see a fighter plane I like, Su-27 Flanker in this case, I will try to replicate it physically. Since buying plastic models of various fighter planes can be expensive, I have found a way to replicate it through the use of paper origami.

The story envisions that future fighter jets are piloted by sophisticated computers to the extent that the lethal automated jets can think on their own without human pilots.

I am very passionate about fighter planes. I follow the history of the development of the various military jet planes especially those that can perform precision strike missions.

Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable geometry wing aircraft. The F-14 was the United States Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor and tactical reconnaissance platform from 1974 to 2006, developed after the collapse of the F-111B project, and was the first of the American teen-series fighters which were designed incorporating the experience of air combat in Vietnam against the Russian-developed MiGs.

Some deployments also used four AIM-7 Sparrows (on the belly) and four AIM-9 Sidewinders (on the wingmounts).

My interest in fighter planes had me going around collecting display models. In addition, I have for many years developed paper models of these planes. In addition to F-14 Tomcat, I manage to make origami fighter planes in the likes of the RQ-4 Global Hawk, F-117 Night Hawk and Aurora.
