John recently taught a 3 hour aeronautics course to middle schoolers at Falcon AeroLab in Colorado Springs.  The 7th graders enjoyed this hands on demonstration on how airplanes fly and why they look the way they do.

They applied this discussion on fundamental aeronautics by test flying their PAI balsa wood gliders and calculating glide ratio. We are so impressed with these students and look forward to meeting with them again soon!
