Free Flight is the segment of model aviation involving aircraft with no active external control after launch. Free Flight is the original form of hobby aeromodeling, with the competitive objective being to build and launch a self controlling aircraft that will achieve the longest flight duration, within various class parameters.
Free Flight can refer to:
- Free flight (model aircraft)
- Free flight (air traffic control)
- Free Flight (band), an American jazz band led by Jim Walker
- Free flights to Italy, NGO that holds solemn ceremonies of commemoration in Italy in memory of plane crashes
Free flight is a developing air traffic control method that uses no centralized control (e.g. air traffic controllers). Instead, parts of airspace are reserved dynamically and automatically in a distributed way using computer communication to ensure the required separation between aircraft. This new system may be implemented into the U.S. air traffic control system in the next decade. Its potential impact on the operations of the national airspace system is disputed, however.
Free Flight is an American jazz ensemble, led by flutist Jim Walker, and including pianist Mike Garson.
