AEROMODELLING
All FAI Aeromodelling international championships, competitions
and record activities are conducted under the direction of the FAI
Aeromodelling Commission (CIAM). CIAM stands for "Comité
International d'Aéromodelisme". The FAI Aeromodelling
Commission establishes and maintains rules and criteria for FAI
Aeromodelling competitions and records, FAI badges, security at
world sporting events, and technical standards.
Inverse Square
Law
A law that describes any quantity, such as gravitational force,
that decreases with the square of the distance between two objects.
For example, if the distance between two objects is doubled, then
the gravitational force exerted between them is one-fourth as
strong. Likewise, if the distance to a star is doubled, then its
apparent brightness is only one-fourth as great.
“SNC is proud to have met its schedule and cost
targets in the delivery of our first flight structure as we
continue to make preparations for our vehicle’s first
full-scale flight. The Dream Chaser Program is making great strides
towards developing a safe and cost-effective space system that will
provide our country with the capability to safely transport crew
and critical cargo to and from the International Space
Station...”
