The
popularity of RC cars, boats, planes and helicopters has surged in the past
decade, despite the rise of new technologies such as games consoles, providing amateurs
and seasoned enthusiasts alike with hours of fun and entertainment. Adults and
children now have access to a large volume of remotely operated toys as they
have become an affordable and fun source of amusement and interest for all
ages.
Historically,
there was often limited actions and movement that could be achieved with RC
toys, with the controller often unable to operate the toy past a short distance
because of the range of operation or the fact that batteries were renowned for
not having the best lifespan.
However, in
this day and age, marvels in technology, materials and manufacturing processes
have revolutionised the RC toy, presenting a wide scope of applications for
both civilian interaction and so too, the military.
With the
technology present now to remotely control land, sea and air based full sized
vehicles, the military applications are huge, with equipment such as remote
control drones and unmanned surveillance planes serving military forces successfully
for a number of years now.
Technological
advancements have also seen the growth of popularity amongst civilians too, as
the purchasing costs for many of the mainstream generic radio controlled toys
we see today are more affordable, made from lighter materials and are often
easy to operate with vastly improved operating ranges.
As the
demand for drones or remotely operated unmanned surveillance devices rises – so
does the interest of remote control enthusiasts eager to recreate military
environments and scenarios.
A
spokesperson for WTL Toys said in a recent interview, “There has definitely
been an increase in the trend for buying radio controlled toys over the last
five to ten years, undoubtedly down to improved technology and the satisfaction
and interaction a person of any age can get from operating a scaled down model
of something that would otherwise be completely out of their reach.”
This goes
for RC cars to hexacopters, helicopters, boats and even pets or insects which
all prove to be popular within varying age brackets.
“Technology
hasn’t just improved certain factors of today’s toys but completely
revolutionised them to the point where the operator is offered the next best
thing to actually being sat at the controls.” WTL Toy’s spokesperson added that
“As we continue to move forwards, it will only be a short time before cameras
and video links to the operator will be common practice on even the most
affordable models.”
