Most RC aircraft enthusiasts are attracted to the hobby because it accurately mimics real-life aviation and the same physics that enables an aircraft to fly and apply equally to RC planes. Given the close relationship between RC planes and real planes, can RC planes achieve similar heights and speeds?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The RC plane world altitude record is 10,607m (34,800 ft), and the world speed record of 881km\/h (548mph) was set by an unpowered slope soaring glider. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles UAVs used for research or by the military have broken the sound barrier and even reached space.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Theoretically, RC aircraft can achieve the same absolute speeds and height as their real-world counterparts. The only limitation restricting RC aircraft from achieving these heights and speeds are government regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
