This chapter expands the coverage of aerodynamic models for aircraft to include elements necessary to address miniature aircrafts. This includes coverage of the necessary concepts to understand typical small helicopters, airplanes, and multirotor configurations; computation of the force, thrust and moment of propellers and rotors in hover as well as in forward flight; and modeling of motors and engines typical for small aircrafts, especially, gas and electric motors. The chapter explains the flapping dynamics of helicopter rotors and the use of the stabilizer bar. The chapter ends with three aircraft model examples chosen to represent one aircraft from each major class of aircraft in common use today: small aerobatic airplane, multirotor (quadrotor) configuration, and small unmanned helicopter.
