What is Rubber-Power and FreeFlight Avionics

A Rubber-Powered Free-Flight Airplane is a free-flying model powered by an elastic rubber band. The elastic band is wound to store potential energy which is released as it unwinds. Built carefully, some can stay aloft for forty minutes or longer. Most can cover hundreds of feet. Today, this activity is educators choice for developing appreciation for the technicalities of flight and other scientific principles in schools. Children and teachers can discover and appreciate the usefulness of mathematical principles, scientific principles, problem solving methods and team dynamics through competition.
