Students will look at the problem-solving practices and innovative leaps that transformed space exploration from the unimaginable to the common in a single generation. Students will also gain a historical perspective, from the earliest flying machines to various modern aircraft. They will explore career opportunities in aviation and aerospace and the critical issues affecting the industry. Students will also begin to drill down into the various sectors of aviation and the elements that make up the aerospace ecosystem. Students will explore modern innovations and develop innovative ideas to address the aviation industry’s real-world challenges
Intro to Aviation 2 - (Grades 10, 11, 12)
In the Introduction to Flight course, students pursuing the Pilot and UAS tracks will look closely at the aircraft they may one day operate. Students will begin with an exploration of the types of aircraft in use today before learning how aircraft are made and how they fly. Students will understand how aircraft are categorized, be able to identify their parts, and learn about aircraft construction techniques and materials. They will gain an in-depth understanding of the forces of flight—lift, weight, thrust, and drag—including how to make key calculations. They will then touch on aircraft design, looking at stability, aircraft controls, and maneuvering flight. The course will focus on career skills related to these topics
