進行有關航空知識的教育

Education on aviation knowledge

通過航空模型活動，青少年們可以學到飛行原理、空氣動力學、材料與結構、航空發動機、無線電遙控、氣象等有關航空知識。誠然，這些知識一般講是比較粗淺的，但通過航模學到的知識具有多種學科、從實踐到理論多次反復的特點，這些特點可以一定程度彌補學習內容過于單一的缺陷。例如訓練飛行員難以用許多課時講飛機結構設計問題，而這些知識對飛行業務也是很重要的。一個飛機設計人員一生不過搞幾個機種，并且往往只接觸某些部件，人們很難超越這種客觀局限性。模型愛好者可以反復設計、制作、試飛許多機型，并且都是模型飛機的整體，從而形成整體的互相聯系的思想。美國航空先驅蘭利少設計制造了80多架模型飛機，他的航空知識和成功主要來自這些模型的試驗和研究。

Through aviation model activities, teenagers can learn aviation knowledge such as flight principle, aerodynamics, materials and structure, aeroengine, radio remote control, meteorology, etc. It is true that the knowledge is relatively superficial in general, but the knowledge learned through model aircraft has the characteristics of multiple disciplines, repeated from practice to theory, which can make up for the defect of too single professional learning content to a certain extent. For example, it is difficult to train pilots to use many class hours to talk about aircraft structure design, and this knowledge is also very important for flight business. It is difficult for an aircraft designer to transcend the objective limitation that he only works on several types of aircraft in his life and only touches certain parts. Model enthusiasts can design, make and test many models repeatedly, and they are the whole of model aircraft, so as to form the whole idea of mutual connection. American aviation pioneer Langley has designed and manufactured at least more than 80 model airplanes. His aviation knowledge and success mainly come from the test and research of these models.

培養動手操作的能力

Develop hands-on ability

我國基礎教育有重理論輕實踐的傾向。學生的推理、演算能力較強，動手實驗、操作能力較差，而航空模型活動在一定程度上彌補了這種不足。航模愛好者一般能看懂和繪制三維圖，可以迅速通過三維圖構想出實物的立體形狀，可以從等高線地圖中迅速構想出立體地形；能識別許多材料，了解他們的特性，包括一些新材料(如碳纖維、鈦合金等)；會使用許多工具，包括簡單工具和機床；會使用不少儀器，如風速計、轉速計、氣流儀、聲級計、電氣儀表等；掌握一些加工工藝，從手工制作到加工玻璃鋼、碳纖維零部件；航模愛好者熟練地掌握模型飛機的調整和操縱技術，其中包括遙控技術，它和飛機調整操縱原理是相同的,技術上也是類似的。

There is a tendency of emphasizing theory over practice in China's basic education. Students' reasoning and calculation ability is strong, but their hands-on experiment and operation ability is poor, and aviation model activities make up for this deficiency to a certain extent. Aviation model enthusiasts can generally understand and draw three-dimensional maps, quickly conceive the solid shape of objects through three-dimensional maps, and quickly conceive three-dimensional terrain from contour maps; they can identify many materials and understand their characteristics, including some new materials (such as carbon fiber, titanium alloy, etc.); they can use many tools, including simple tools and machine tools; they can use many instruments, Such as wind speed meter, tachometer, airflow meter, sound level meter, electrical instrument, etc.; master some processing technology, from hand-made to processing FRP and carbon fiber parts; aviation model enthusiasts skillfully master the adjustment and control technology of model aircraft, including remote control technology, which is the same as the aircraft adjustment and control principle, and the technology is also similar.

培養進取精神和競爭意識

Cultivate enterprising spirit and competitive consciousness

航空模型運動的一個顯著特點是不僅要完成制作和放飛，而且要不斷改進模型，不斷提高飛行成績。競賽和創紀錄始終貫穿于航空模型活動之中。這樣就使參加者養成競爭意識和奮力向上的精神。同時，在這個過程中領悟到探索新問題的途徑、方法和樂趣。許多航模愛好者都是技術革新的能手。航空是高科技集中的行業，技術發展日新月異，飛行員和航空工作者尤其需要這種精神。

A remarkable feature of aviation model movement is not only to complete the production and release, but also to continuously improve the model and flight performance. Competition and record setting are always throughout the aviation model activities. This will enable the participants to develop a sense of competition and the spirit of striving upward. At the same time, in this process, we can understand the ways, methods and fun of exploring new problems. Many aviation model enthusiasts are experts in technological innovation. Aviation is a high-tech industry with rapid technological development. Pilots and aviation workers especially need this spirit.

樹立遠大理想

Set up lofty ideals

興趣和理想是激發人們努力學習、刻苦鉆研、克服困難、搞好工作的巨大動力，也是航空工作者的必要條件。理想不是憑空產生的。參加航空模型活動使廣大青少年從好奇到好玩到產生興趣，從興趣上升到愛好。其中許多人進而逐漸樹立起投身航空事業的遠大理想，這個過程十分自然，十分牢固。

Interest and ideal are the great power to stimulate people to study hard, study hard, overcome difficulties and do a good job, and are also the necessary conditions for aviation workers. Ideals are not created out of thin air. Taking part in the aviation model activities makes young people from curiosity to fun to interest, from interest to hobby. Many of them gradually set up the lofty ideal of joining the aviation industry. This process is very natural and firm.
