![]() There is a well-illustrated build blog in its place though. No problem I’d just download the PDF version, but there isn’t one. Everything was well protected and arrived without any damage or marks to the foam. One of my neighbors walked by as I was loading it in the car and she said, “That’s beautiful-a work of art.”Īside from the striking paint job, the airplane itself gave the impression of being extremely lightweight and quick to build as I unboxed it. The first word that came to my mind when I opened the box was colorful! This model’s preprinted EPP foam cover really stands out and, as I found out later, helps a lot with orientation. Build blog doesn’t show the most current model or cowl detail.Wing loading: 13.44 ounces per square foot Radio system: Futaba 14SG transmitter Futaba S3117 servos Futaba R617FS FAAST receiver Power system: Hacker A30-14L V3 800 Kv outrunner motor Hacker XB-55-SB-Pro 50-amp brushless ESCīattery: FlightPower 2,450 mAh 3S 11.1-volt 30C LiPo Requires: Minimum four-channel transmitter and receiver LiPo battery motor ESC propeller foam-safe CA regular CA and contact glue Power system: 450- to 500-watt brushless motor 40-amp brushless ESC 3S or 4S 2,200 mAh to 2,650 mAh LiPo battery 13 x 6.5 (3S) or 12 x 6 (4S) propeller Wing loading: 11.6 to 13.08 ounces per square foot Getting the new vehicles certified with a pilot on board will likely be easier but that makes the operation much more expensive, given they are mostly designed to carry only a few passengers.As seen in the January 2016 issue of Model Aviation. ![]() It’s a particular conundrum for those companies developing urban air mobility aircraft, better known as flying taxis. Much debate is ongoing in the aviation industry about whether passenger planes will be flown by one or even zero pilots in the future. The narrowbody plane is now known as the A220 and sales have increased under Airbus’s ownership, while Bombardier has returned to its focus on business jets. Programs typically encounter delays and can cause financial distress for their manufacturer, as seen recently with Bombardier’s development of the CSeries.Īfter losses mounted, the Canadian manufacturer sold the program for a symbolic amount of 1 Canadian dollar to Airbus. “I don’t think we’ll even get to the drawing board this decade,” he was further cited as saying.īoeing’s most modern narrowbody commercial jet, the 737 MAX, is a much upgraded version of an airframe which first flew in the 1960s, rather than an entirely new design.Ĭreating a new commercial aircraft from scratch requires much investment and time and is fraught with risk. ![]()
