Visitors
of all ages will have the opportunity to put their creativity and problem
solving skills to use at the Engineering Design activities offered throughout
the summer. Learn about flight, aircraft design, and aerodynamic principles. Visitors will have
the chance to get up close and personal with the Museum’s 80 display
aircraft. A variety of activities will
be offered each day such as build and fly challenge activities, flight science
demonstrations and the chance to sit in the cockpit of an aircraft. The
Museum's Flight Sim Spot will be open each of these days between 11:00 a.m. and
4:00 p.m. The Flight Sim Spot allows visitors to use state-of-the-art
simulators using real cockpit controls. In small groups, design and build a trolley that
will race down a nylon line. Two
trolleys powered by rubber bands and propellers will race each other on two
parallel tracks, the faster of the two trolleys will be the winner. The winner of each heat will compete against
each other until there is one winner for each half-hour block
