Vought AF5U Flying Pancake by TMC Pacific ModelworksItem Number: AXF5USpan: 14 " Length: 12 " The brainchild of Charles H. Zimmerman, the F5U was intended to perform well as a fighter plane while being able to remain in flight at extremely low airspeed, making it easier to operate from carriers. The F5U's unusual appearance owed to a very low aspect ratio wing without a fuselage, which resulted in something looking like a flying saucer. This shape, combined with powerful engines driving large...

The Beech G-17 Staggerwing is an American utility aircraft built in the 1930s. The biplane features a reverse stagger wing (lower wing is ahead of the upper wing)�a design configuration that made the aircraft unique. The unusual configuration does not enhance the aerodynamics of the aircraft; the wings were designed as such to simply improve pilot visibility. With a hefty price tag, the Staggerwing did not make a huge impact at first, considering it was sold after the Great Depression. But...

The F4F Wildcat was an American carrier-based fighter aircraft that began service with both the United States Navy and the British Royal Navy in 1940. The Wildcat was the only effective fighter available to the United States Navy and Marine Corps during the early part of World War II. The Wildcat was outperformed by the Mitsubishi Zero, but held its own because, with relatively heavy armor and self-sealing fuel tanks, the Wildcat airframe could survive far more damage than the Zero. This...

The X-4 Bantam was an aircraft developed to study the flight characteristics of swept-wing semi-tailless aircraft at transonic speeds. The Northrop Corporation built only two of the type in 1948. Both of them were turned over to the Air Force and then to the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, but only the No.2 X-4 joined the joint USAF/NACA program. This program explored the nature of the stability problems encountered near the speed of sound. The No. 1 aircraft, on the other hand,...
