About modelism

Origin sports modelism leaves the roots in the beginning of the last century.
On April, 14, 1910 in the Moscow arena passed horse-racing competitions. When they have terminated, has been declared, that after distribution of prizes in a spacious room of an arena competitions of flying models will be lead. It were first rather large competitions of models of airplanes at us in the country. Though the show appeared short, present have remained him(it) are pleased, smooth and steady flights of tiny devices were impressing.
The prize has handed over the champion of these competitions chairman of jury the professor of the Moscow maximum technical school Nikolay Egorovich Zhukovsky, the founder of an aviation science in Russia, " father of Russian aircraft " as has named his V.I.Lenin. Being the organizer of these competitions, N.E.Zhukovsky pursued the scientific purpose - to reveal the basic flight opportunities of models of airplanes so that in the further them to use in experiences on aerodynamics.
The history of technics has kept many examples when creation of model helped birth of various machines, mechanisms, complex building constructions. In fact the tiny model - copy of the future model is easier for executing, than the original. On such model the opportunity to check up efficiency of different variants of the machine is given. If in aeronautics on flying devices it is easier than air, the person has departed less than half-year later from the date of start of model of a balloon in aircraft where flight occurs on devices more hardly air, the way from the first flying model before flight of the plane was on length about 100 years. All these years flying models truly served scientists and designers.
In successes of shipbuilding (one of the most ancient branches of human activity), also a significant role models have played.
Usually models divide into two kinds: working and invalid (working and motionless), the last name breadboard models - nonfunctioning copies of natural machines.
It would seem, from invalid models of benefit it is not enough, however it not so. Models - breadboard models keep a kind of machines of the epoch that happens very important for correct and precise representation about evolution of technics for descendants.
Model - breadboard model will allow to represent evidently also in a miniature any machine and a building of tomorrow's day, to compare them to predecessors, to present their accommodation on a background of other machines or constructions. Model reproduction became very much widespread at designing new cities, inhabited files, at creation of hydroconstructions. All over the world fans(amateurs) modelism build working models of a copy of full-size planes and the ships, automobiles, rockets and space vehicles, tanks, locomotives and cars. There are not few enthusiasts who project, build and test experimental models with application of new technical ideas. The set of people of different age is created excitedly with demonstration models of planes, the ships, every possible transport technics. By many kinds modelism competitions of the most various scale on which it is defined are carried out, whose model operates better, is better executed, and also personal qualities of the participant of competitions.
Sports modelism the airmodelling commission of aviation federation " FAI ", shipmodelling federation " NAVIGA ", automodelling federation " Fema " all over the world supervise. All these international organizations include as equal in rights members corresponding federations created in our country.
