A model airplane is a small-scale replica of an actual aircraft, designed for display or flight. These models can be made from various materials, including plastic, wood, and foam. They come in different types, such as static models for collectors and radio-controlled (RC) models that can be flown. Model airplanes are popular among hobbyists and enthusiasts, often participating in competitions or clubs. Building and flying these models can enhance skills in engineering, design, and aerodynamics. Many people enjoy customizing their models, adding unique features or paint schemes to reflect their personal style or favorite airlines.
