B-17 Flying Fortress from Eclipson Airplanes

Details

Take flight with our 3D-printed B-17 Flying Fortress — an iconic legend reborn through modern engineering and cutting-edge 3D printing.
This highly detailed model captures the scale and presence of the legendary World War II heavy bomber, redesigned for RC enthusiasts who demand both performance and authenticity.

Engineered with flexibility and innovation in mind, the B-17 features a modular landing gear system compatible with both fixed gear and commercial retractable units — giving you full control over realism and complexity. The top turret includes a servo-powered rotation mechanism for added scale realism and can be swapped out with a custom mount for a DJI O3 Air Unit, making FPV integration seamless.

A newly developed quick-release wing locking system allows for fast, tool-free assembly and disassembly, simplifying transport and storage without sacrificing structural integrity. All components are optimized for lightweight strength, with support for spiral vase mode printing to ensure clean, efficient builds and smooth surfaces.

Whether you're in it for high-impact flights, immersive FPV missions, or as a striking static display, this 3D-printed B-17 blends historical charm with smart, modern design.
