进行有关航空知识的教育

Education on aviation knowledge

通过航空模型活动，青少年们可以学到飞行原理、空气动力学、材料与结构、航空发动机、无线电遥控、气象等有关航空知识。诚然，这些知识一般讲是比较粗浅的，但通过航模学到的知识具有多种学科、从实践到理论多次反复的特点，这些特点可以一定程度弥补学习内容过于单一的缺陷。例如训练飞行员难以用许多课时讲飞机结构设计问题，而这些知识对飞行业务也是很重要的。一个飞机设计人员一生不过搞几个机种，并且往往只接触某些部件，人们很难超越这种客观局限性。模型爱好者可以反复设计、制作、试飞许多机型，并且都是模型飞机的整体，从而形成整体的互相联系的思想。美国航空先驱兰利少设计制造了80多架模型飞机，他的航空知识和成功主要来自这些模型的试验和研究。

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.

培养动手操作的能力

Develop hands-on ability

我国基础教育有重理论轻实践的倾向。学生的推理、演算能力较强，动手实验、操作能力较差，而航空模型活动在一定程度上弥补了这种不足。航模爱好者一般能看懂和绘制三维图，可以迅速通过三维图构想出实物的立体形状，可以从等高线地图中迅速构想出立体地形；能识别许多材料，了解他们的特性，包括一些新材料(如碳纤维、钛合金等)；会使用许多工具，包括简单工具和机床；会使用不少仪器，如风速计、转速计、气流仪、声级计、电气仪表等；掌握一些加工工艺，从手工制作到加工玻璃钢、碳纤维零部件；航模爱好者熟练地掌握模型飞机的调整和操纵技术，其中包括遥控技术，它和飞机调整操纵原理是相同的,技术上也是类似的。

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.

培养进取精神和竞争意识

Cultivate enterprising spirit and competitive consciousness

航空模型运动的一个显著特点是不仅要完成制作和放飞，而且要不断改进模型，不断提高飞行成绩。竞赛和创纪录始终贯穿于航空模型活动之中。这样就使参加者养成竞争意识和奋力向上的精神。同时，在这个过程中领悟到探索新问题的途径、方法和乐趣。许多航模爱好者都是技术革新的能手。航空是高科技集中的行业，技术发展日新月异，飞行员和航空工作者尤其需要这种精神。

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.

树立远大理想

Set up lofty ideals

兴趣和理想是激发人们努力学习、刻苦钻研、克服困难、搞好工作的巨大动力，也是航空工作者的必要条件。理想不是凭空产生的。参加航空模型活动使广大青少年从好奇到好玩到产生兴趣，从兴趣上升到爱好。其中许多人进而逐渐树立起投身航空事业的远大理想，这个过程十分自然，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.
