WHAT WILL WE LEARN?

Through discussion and touring through the museum with a knowledgeable guide, students learn how an aircraft flies.  They study forces of flight, Bernoulli’s Principle, Newton’s Laws of Motion, and the control surfaces of aircraft.  This tour is a great way for students to experience real-life application of abstract concepts and they are able to discover the secrets of flight using real aircraft.
