Models can be constructed by flying or non-flying models and the techniques for building the two were very different from the other. Static Model Airplane - this is a scale model of an airplane and being belt by using the plastic, metals, woods or papers. Some of the static models were scaled intended for the wind tunnels, wherein the data that has been acquired can be used for helping the design of the full scaling aircraft. Promotional...
