It is a well-recognized fact that the future of any nation is largely related to
the quality of its human beings. In this context, development of the youth into
confident leaders with requisite character qualities and personal attributes, so
that they can take their place as responsible citizens of the country, assumes great
importance. In order to achieve this objective the youth needs to be exposed to
such activities which can help them in developing their personality and character.
The major determinants of personality and character of an individual are: -
biological (heredity, brain and physical features); cultural; family and social
factors; and situation. NCC plays a major role in personality/ character
development of the cadets. NCC helps in developing the overall personality of
cadets through various activities like drill, interaction of cadets in camps,
competitions, and sports adventure activities.

21 Read the passage below and answer the questions as follows: 4 (1+1+2)
Aeromodelling is the art and science of designing, building, and flying
small aircraft, often as a hobby or educational activity. Its roots can be
traced back to the 19th century when inventors and engineers sought to
understand flight principles. Modern aeromodelling includes a variety of
categories, such as free flight, control lines, and radio-controlled models.
Free-flight models fly without active guidance, relying on precise
engineering and environmental factors. Control-line models are tethered
to a pilot who controls their flight path, while radio-controlled models
use transmitters to manage speed, direction, and other functions
remotely. With technological advancements, modern aeromodelling now
incorporates lightweight materials, electric motors, and advanced
software for enhanced performance. Aeromodelling is a popular
recreational activity that is critical in aeronautical engineering education,
offering insights into aerodynamics, propulsion, and structural design.

Answer the following:
i) What does modern aeromodelling include? (1)
ii) What are free-flight models? (1)
iii) What is aeromodelling? What changes have come into modern
aeromodelling with technological advancements?

Besides carpentry tools, Power tools are also used for Ship Modeling.
Power tools such as jigsaw Machine, drilling, grinding, buffing set, lathe
set, wood turning set, saw and groover set, sanding and polishing set etc.
are expected to produce accurate work pieces not only when the machine
is new but throughout its working life. For this reason, the wear of the
machine must not exceed certain limits, it must be watched and parts
which are faulty due to wear or other damage must be replaced or
repaired without delay. Therefore, repair and maintenance work must be
carried out in accordance with preventive maintenance schedules.
Power tools used in ship modelling are for better finish, speed of
execution and mass production. However, the machines need to be kept
operational and cadets must be trained to handle them with confidence
for optimal exploitation, otherwise mishandling causing accidents
leading to loss of material or injury.
A. Why are power tools used in ship modelling? (1)
B. What should be done for optimal exploitation of machines? (1)
C. Enlist the power tools that are expected to produce accurate work
pieces. (2)
