If you are curious how airplanes fly without flapping like a bird, how to read aircraft instruments and tell which runway to land on, what it’s like inside a real cockpit, then this is the class for you! Aeronautics is the art and science of flight. Aviation is the practical side of aeronautics. It’s the design and building of airplanes, and how to fly the thing from point A to B. Aerodynamics is the motion of air, and the way air interacts with aircraft, like how air flows over a wing.


In November, we went on an Airplane Field Trip with a real flight instructor! During class, students were able to ask questions and interact with the pilot in this online learning field trip class. Here’s the video recording:



We will be doing another field trip soon, so please look for an email about this in the coming months. I hope you enjoy the kesson!

  9. This will be sent out to you tomorrow, check your email!

    We are interested! But have not received a link or info via email as of yet. Can you please provide?

    Thank you,
    Amy

  11. Yes, this is different from the flight lesson videos on the website, as we will be live from a flying airplane and you can interact and ask questions, and we can answer them right during flight. Last time, we were able to demonstrate science principles that kids were asking about as well!

  12. Around 10am – check your email this weekend for details.

    What time will this take place?

  14. Check your email for a link and a time! We’ll send it out shortly before so you’re ready to come with us.

    Hi, is this an entirely new class or are you doing the same thing as you did in the lesson, “First Flying Lesson in an Airplane”? I was just wondering if there would be any new content.
