The jet modelling discipline is one of
the most advanced area's of aeromodelling today. Over the past few
years the expansion and development in propulsion systems has allowed
modellers to now build larger aircraft and have them perform in similar
fashion to their full size counterparts with comparative power to weight
ratio's. The engines are becoming more refined for reliability and with
the use of modern electronic technology, they are also becoming more
simple and safer to operate. The vast majority of aircraft at the ANZAC
event will be powered by these Gas Turbine Engines.
The traditional high performance two
stroke engine/ ducted fan is now becoming older technology in
comparison, however they are still popular and are great performers.
Additionally on the other end of the scale however, the electric ducted
fan models are providing outstanding performance due to advanced motor
and battery technology but are still at this stage limited to the
smaller aircraft.
The ANZAC event is not promoted as a
public display, but rather as a Jet Meeting for interested jet pilots to
fly together and participate in some basic competition. It is also the
perfect opportunity for anybody to come along, who may want to either
become involved in this discipline or just be entertained by the 'Wow'
factor. With this in mind, public facilities are limited and we suggest
you bring along some form of seating and shade protection as you are
bound to be here for quite some time!
