Abstract

Presently the use of unmanned radio-controlled aircraft has increased because of its wide range of applications. The main motive is to design an aircraft jet F-14 to reduce the weight, induced drag on wings, increase the lift and to run at high speed. To reduce the weight, we have used high density foam for the main wings and balsa for fuselage. The method by which this motive can be achieved is called as sweepback mechanism which converts the subsonic speed to supersonic speed. After thousands of tests and dozens of improvements, we solved the flight stability problem with regards to swept wing flight. In addition to its stunningly realistic appearance, the unique design of the variable-sweep wings, and powerful combat performance is its ability to mount the "Phoenix" missile. Thus, this plane can be used in defence applications and also in wars.
