Weighing in at 44 lbs the model is 109 inches long, with a wingspan of 121 inches and a total wing area of almost 33 square feet.Originally powered by 2 OS 91 ducted fan engines the model is now undergoing conversion to use JetCat 120 turbines for the 2004 display season. The model will have on-board GPS positioning and data transmission systems
Designed and built by Alan Walker this is an 1/11th scale Class I scale model
of the Vulcan. It took 4 years to complete, and features an accurate airfoil including an undercambered leading edge section. Alan used the B.2 Vulcan based at Bruntingthorpe in Leicestershire to ensure complete accuracy of the model. The picture on the right gives some idea of the amount of detailing on this model
One of the reasons for the 10 channels and 24 servos is the servo operated parachute release system.
Another is the fully sequenced electronically controlled retract system
Also featured here is the original Academy Trust Vulcan, using pulse jets. Roy Lever is probably the only man in the world to have two 10 foot span Vulcans in his possession. Both can be seen at Megamodels. Roy’s interest in the Vulcans goes back many years to when he was chairman of Tyldesley MFC, and along with Terry Hamilton he flew 12-bladed ducted fan jets.
