FLIGHT...IT'S ABOUT TIME

We have put together a timeline of important dates in aviation from the 1900's to the present. Aviation is on the cutting edge of technology. The story of the progress and growth of aviation is the story of technological advances.

AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS IN TRAINING (AET)

Students were challenged to test the current wing design of planes and the affect that has on distance traveled, glide rating, and speed rating. From their analysis of the data they collected, then then designed and tested various experimental wing shapes to achieve maximum travel distances.











AET

Students used geometry and algebraic equations to uncover the BEST wing shape for long distances


CREATE YOUR OWN PLANE

Students were also challenged to use mixed media to create their own unique planes.
