The present invention provides toy or model aircraft with motions that can reproduce the operational status and flight attitude of the corresponding real aircraft. Model aircraft according to the present invention comprises vertical motion means 12 for enabling the aircraft body 11 to ascend or descend in order to reproduce changes in position from a state in which the aircraft is set at a lower position so as to copy the attitude of the corresponding real aircraft during a halt on the ground to a state in which the aircraft is set at a higher position so as to copy the attitude of the corresponding real aircraft during a flight, and attitude control means 31 for enabling the aircraft body 11 to be inclined in longitudinal and lateral directions in order to reproduce longitudinal and lateral motions of the real aircraft, the attitude control means 31 being provided at a tip portion of the vertical motion means 12, so that an operation performed by the vertical motion means 12 can be synthesized with an operation performed by the attitude control means 31.
Model aircraft capable of reproducing a flight attitude of a corresponding real aircraft, the model aircraft comprising vertical motion means for enabling a model aircraft to ascend or descend in order to reproduce changes in position from a state in which the aircraft is set at a lower position so as to copy the attitude of the corresponding real aircraft during a halt on the ground to a state in which the aircraft is set at a higher position so as to copy the attitude of the corresponding real aircraft during a flight, and attitude control means for enabling the aircraft to be inclined in longitudinal and lateral directions in order to reproduce longitudinal and lateral motions of the aircraft, the attitude control means being provided at a tip portion of the vertical motion means, so that an operation performed by the vertical motion means can be synthesized with an operation performed by the attitude control means.
Model aircraft capable of reproducing a flight attitude according to claim 2, wherein one end of the vertical motion means is provided in a support portion, and the other end thereof, that is, the tip portion thereof is formed in the aircraft via the attitude control means.
