{{main article|Radio-controlled aircraft}}
Radio-controlled aircraft (also called RC aircraft) are small [[fixed-wing aircraft|aircraft]] that can be controlled remotely. There are many different types, ranging from small park flyers to large jets and mid-sized aerobatic models.
The aircraft use many different methods of propulsion, ranging from brushed or brushless electric motors, to internal combustion engines, to the most expensive [[gas turbine]]s. The fastest aircraft, dynamic slope soarers, can reach speeds of over {{convert|450|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on}} by [[dynamic soaring]], repeatedly circling through the gradient of wind speeds over a ridge or slope.<ref>[http://www.hsl.org.au/articles/ds.pdf | ''Dynamic soaring- the challenge'', by Klaus Weiss , retrieved 2011 06 27]</ref> Newer jets can achieve above {{convert|300|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on}} in a short distance.
