The Role of the Model Aeroplane in Aviation History


Updated October 31, 2007

This website will examine the role of the model aeroplane in aviation history.

Whether created as a scale prototype, or miniature or simply a catalyst for fun and recreation, the history of the model aeroplane closely parallels the history of flight.

We are now seeing tiny unmanned aircraft carrying man's 'senses' aloft and soon, nanoscale devices, small enough fly though our bodies combating disease.

The 19th century saw aviation's birth, the 20th century took man into the skies - the 21st century can only be even more spectacular.
