Classification model airplane

Aircraft division

Aircraft are a tool that created that uses air media. Consists of:

a. Aircraft aerodynamics, aircraft that is heavier than air (HEAVIER THAN AIR)
b. Aerostatis Aircraft, an aircraft that is lighter than air (LIGHTER THAN AIR)

Aircraft aerodynamics consists of two groups: non-motorized vehicles and aircraft. The motor consists of fixed wing (FIXED WING) and rotary wing (ROTARY WING). Aerodynamic motorized aircraft fixed wing consists of aircraft, flying boats and amphibians. Which consists of rotary winged Helicopter and Gyrocopter. Non-motorized aircraft aerodynamics consists of sliding plane (glider), glider (SAILPLANE) and kites. Aerostatis aircraft consist of aircraft and hot air balloon.

Model Aircraft division

Basically the same distribution of types of aircraft models with the actual aircraft. Generally it can be distinguished as follows:

1. Motorized model plane which consists of fixed wing (FIXED WING) and rotary wing (ROTARY WING), both of which are functioning as a sport (FUN FLYING), Trainer and Competition / Achievement.
2. The aircraft model consists of non-motorized sports type (FUN) and the Competition / Achievement.

There is also a model aircraft that resemble real plane both in the category of so-called FUN and Competition Scale model (SCALE MODEL).
For model airplane competition / performance standard classification has a FAI (Federation Internationale Aeronatique) based in Paris, France.
