Air Racing

Air racing, the sport of racing airplanes, either pre-determined courses or intercontinental borders. Air racing dates back to 1909, when the first international meeting was held in Reims, France.

Sporting aviation dates back to the early days of aviation, when aviation pioneers used distance and speed competitions as a means of developing and testing aircraft. Early manufacturers promoted such events as a platform to showcase the designs of their most advanced aircraft. Most of the major aviation meetings took place in France and many famous pilots took part in it. Strong competitive competition between competitors proved to be great for advancing the flight.

World War I disrupted these competitions, but air racing emerged during the 1920s and 1930s as a result of some popular events and trophies. For example, the Pulitzer Trophy (1920), the Thompson Trophy (1929), and the Bandix Trophy (1931) in the United States and the Kings Cup (1922) in England attracted some of the best pilots from around the world. The most famous event, however, was a series of races for the Snyder Trophy, a truly international speed competition for ships, held in various locations around the world, starting in Monaco (1913). The racing series ended in 1931, after three consecutive victories by English entrants (in 1927, 1929 and 1931), as the first country to win three times in five years would retain the trophy permanently according to the rules of the trophy.

The best option for resuming sport air racing seems to be formula racing (competition based on factors such as engine size), the use of additional military aircraft, which can be purchased very cheaply, and small, fast. The planes are specially designed for racing. . The formula race around pilots originated in the United States in 1947, with the principle that aircraft with similar performance run around a fixed course determined by pilots, not like an automobile race track. The Air Racing Council of the United States (ARCUS) recognizes a number of fixed-race classes, including Formula 1, Formula V, Biplane, T-6, T-28, Sport Class, and Unlimited. Formula 1 Pylon races are held regularly, mainly in Reno, Nev.

The United Kingdom also runs some Formula 1 runs. The Royal Arrow Club is almost unique in continuing to host pre-type handicap air races, including the famous Kings Cup. The start time of handicap races is a sudden start, calculated theoretically to bring the whole area together at the finish line, allowing ships of very different sizes and powers to run together and produce an interesting spectacle. Does. Some Formula 1 races are also held in France, but most European countries are in favor of air rallies and precision flight events instead.
