Radio control is the use of radio signals to remotely control another device. The term is used frequently to refer to the control of model cars, boats, airplanes, and helicopters from a user-held control box (radio.) Industrial, military and scientific research all make use of radio-controlled vehicles as well.
History
The possibility of radio remote control was appreciated almost as soon as the first demonstrations of radio itself; the credit for the first to suggest radio control of aircraft may belong to Patrick Young Alexander as early as 1888. Nikola Tesla patented a radio-control scheme as early as 1899. In 1917 Archibald Low as head of the RFC Experimental Works, was the first person to use radio control successfully on an aircraft. In the 1920s, various radio-controlled ships were used for naval artillery target practice.
Military applications in the Second World War
Radio control was further developed during World War II, primarily by the Germans who used it in a number of missile projects. Their main effort was the development of radio-controlled missiles and glide bombs for use against shipping, a target that is otherwise both difficult and dangerous to attack. However by the end of the war the Luftwaffe was having similar problems attacking allied bombers, and developed a number of radio-controlled anti-aircraft missiles, none of which saw service.
