Esky 4Ch RAH-66 Co-Comanche CoAxial Electric RC Helicopter

RAH-66 "CO-COMANCHE" is a new helicopter being used for reconnaissance mission of arming and light assault for the land forces."CO-COMANCHE" was designed by TWF as a 4CH helicopter with co-axial, double rotor blades system, it is easy to fly with simple operation, which possesses the characteristics of high sensitivity and flexible turning of the real helicopter.

It was designed with divided canopy and fuselage connecting by a carbon fibre rod, which is practical and beautiful. There are three sliding wheels in the landing strut, which can slide automatically while taking off and landing. The ornamental tail rotor adopts duct rotor blade that can rotate automatically while flying the helicopter, which brings you into a real flight state and brings more fun for your flight. ESKY original softdog is included in the packing, installing the FMS software of the disc, and connecting the simulator port in the transmitter to the computer, you can enjoy your flight in the computer then!

Kyosho F16 FIGHTING FALCON DF55 Electric RC Airplane ARF

Heralded as the real pilot's fighter jet, the F16 Fighting Falcon was designed to be small, fast and lethal without all the bells and whistles of much larger US fighters. The superior visibility from the cockpit, the advanced radar systems, and the close-range weapon systems make this the ideal fighter for air-to-air combat. Placed in service in January 1979, the Fighting Falcon still fights along side the F22 and F117 Air Force fighters today. This legendary aircraft is captured in scale detail and matching performance, as Kyosho's first DF55 brushless ducted fan RC jet.

The new DF55 is a brushless ducted fan unit with an impellor diameter of 55mm, which is 10mm larger than the popular DF45.It's installed in a hybrid foam fuselage that sets new standards for scale appearance and durability. The airframe can handle the higher loads that result from the exceptional performance of the bigger ducted fan while remaining incredibly light. The F16 is factory assembled with the brushless motor, micro servos and brushless speed control installed! All you need to do is install a LiPo battery pack and a receiver of your choice, and you're ready to fly one of the most high-performance ducted fan jets available.

Sky Hussar RC Electric Airplane RTF Pictures

Sky Hussar is a ready-to-fly plane out of the box; it is the perfect choice for beginners and intermediate hobbyist. This plane was constructed with durable materials to withstand more impact than any other electric flight plane in the industry. All of which was accomplished without sacrificing the performance of the plane. The remote control included with this plane is capable of charging the planes batteries – this feature also allows charging of an extra battery during flight.

Hercules & Airbus A380, Russia’s Antonov An-225 Mriya & ‘Caspian Sea Monster’

The one Lun-class ekranoplan originally developed by the Soviet Union military transports, and based mostly on the shores of the Caspian Sea and Black, at a naval base near Kaspiysk. During the Cold War, ekranoplans were sighted for years on the Caspian Sea as huge, fast-moving objects. The name Caspian Sea Monster was given by US intelligence operatives who had spotted the huge vehicle, which looked like an airplane with the outer halves of the wings removed. After the end of the Cold War, the "monster" was revealed to be one of several Soviet military designs meant to fly only a few meters above water, saving energy and staying below enemy radar.

The 8-engined sea skimmer could have been a deadly weapon of war with it’s 6 ‘Sunburn’ anti-ship missiles and ability to travel at high speed under the radar of patrol aircraft. The Lun-class (Russian: "Hen Harrier") (NATO reporting name: "Utka"; Russian: "Duck") ekranoplan Wing-In-Ground effect vehicle was an extremely unusual aircraft designed by Rostislav Evgenievich Alexeev and used by the Soviet & Russian navies from 1987 to sometime in the late '90s. Wing-in-ground-effect aircraft use the extra lift of their large wings when in proximity to the surface (about one to four meters). It is also interesting to note that this is the largest military aircraft ever built, with a length of 73m, rivaling that of the Hughes H-4 Hercules "Spruce Goose" and many modern jumbo jets.

Currently the world's largest aircraft, the first Antonov An-225 Mriya (meaning "Dream") proto- type flew on 21 Dec. 1988. It was designed and built by Antonov Design Bureau (headquarters in Kiev, Ukraine), known for their outstanding achievements in producing heavy transport aircraft. It is the largest aircraft to ever takeoff more than once. Capable of transporting oversized objects externally, the An-225 was designed mainly to transport the Russian space shuttle "Buran" and its components from a service area to a launch site, although the Antonov bureau is looking for possible commercial applications for the enormous aircraft.

Construction of the An-124 provided the basis for the new aircraft with Antonov using many of the same components to keep cost and development efforts down. Although the basic configuration is the same as the An-124, the An-225 is longer, has no rear ramp/door assembly, and incorporates a 32-wheel landing gear system (two nose and fourteen main wheel bogies, seven per side, each with two wheels). The Mriya is not a military aircraft, however, it packs a great potential for military use as a super-heavy transport, it is capable of airlifting cargos that no other aircraft in the world is capable of.

The Hughes H-4 Hercules (registration NX37602) is a "one-off" heavy transport aircraft designed and built by the Hughes Aircraft company. The aircraft made its first and only flight on 2 November 1947. Built from wood due to wartime raw material restrictions on the use of aluminum, the Hercules is the largest flying boat ever built, and has the largest wingspan and height of any aircraft in history. It survives in good condition at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon.

The 555 seat, double deck Airbus A380 is the most ambitious civil aircraft program yet. Airbus first began studies on a very large 500 seat airliner in the early 1990s. The European manufacturer saw developing a competitor and successor to the Boeing 747 as a strategic play to end Boeing's dominance of the very large airliner market and round out Airbus' product line-up.

Mod Center

Leading Edge Aviation Services is a reliable provider of high quality strip, paint, wash and other services that can provide the mod-center with efficiencies in cost management and optimize their core competence as an aircraft maintenance provider. We can augment the mod centers with services that otherwise create inefficiencies due to the excess fixed and variable costs and hangar use associated with running a full time paint department juxtaposed to maintenance and repair

Mig-35: Czar Of The Skies Pictures

Ever since the esteemed Mikoyan Bureau of Russia started the production of migs, they were one of the most fearsome combat aircrafts of all times. Production started from MIG-15.This aircraft earned itself a name of “sabre-killer” during the Korean war in 60s.

The Mikoyan then came with mig-21, mig-23, mig-25, mig-27, mig29,-31 and mig-35.each one of these aircrafts proved themselves superior to the their Americans counterparts for the role they were built for.

Now the most sophisticated mig in the air is mig-35.lets see it’s main technical features:

1. It’s a 4.5 or 4++ generation combat aircraft with avionics of 5^th generation.

2. It has an advanced airborne integrated air defence system, which makes it better for an air superiority combat aircraft.3. It has highly advanced opto-electronic radar, giving it a cutting edge for recon missions.

4. It has a 3 channel fly by wire control system, a technology possessed only by France till now.

The most impressive feature is the radar of this aircraft. It has AESA radar, which was developed with the help of an Italian company.

Ø Now what is AESA radar?

It is active electronically scanned array radar which gives the aircraft an upper hand for detection of its enemy at a distance of 250km or more. It is first Russian jet with this ability.

Ø Now coming to its powerplant.It has twin Rd-33MK engineswhich give it a force of around 9000kgf. Also it has vectored thrust nozzles which give it a good efficiency. This gives it a speed of mach 2.4.

Now for its own defence it has a range of features. The mig-35 has an optronic suite which gives it range of features.

Once airborne this aircraft is a perfect killing machine.
