Gliders

STEM Takes Flight

A standards-based, cloud-based virtual modeling STEM application that guides students through an engaging, realistic glider development process capped by a very cool Airshow -- all before building their actual gliders.. Students actually design and later actually construct an actual working model. What's not to like? Check out the included link and be sure to watch the video

Here's a fun video of a guy who attached a leaf blower to a home-built radio-controlled plane and made it fly!  Some good engineering-design principles described in the video.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMvppuS_ehg&list=PLZVdqFj3-yFslLa3UJ4Bhia5Fsa4pCpLn

Redbird - A series of class started but jump in any time.

Amid school closures caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we've decided to launch an online series of the Redbird STEM+ Lab. The STEM+ Lab will feature interactive classes for students in middle school and high school. Beginning on March 31st, Redbird’s STEM Director Greg Roark will lead students through six virtual classes aimed at engaging their creativity and continuing to foster their interests in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) outside the classroom.

We'll hold the classes weekly, and students will be able to view or review video recordings of each class any time after they are released. A flight simulator is not required to participate, but students are encouraged to use their Redbird simulator or any flight simulation software that is accessible in their home.

Where to airlines part their planes when they are not flying?  This will give you a sense of how much we are not flying. It is a good chance for non-pilots to practice understanding radio call and airport markings. How soon can  you spot the destination airport?      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIbXai0l174&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR0kwBklbEIGw6XT-aM9mukbiyd1yoaSIcwNmYYVKiQG5jCb2OFSOBS5iFw

            What did you notice the aircraft had in common?

            How are they different from what we fly now?

            How will they effect air power?

Don’t fire an RPG if there are drones around:  A C-130 had just made an aerial supply drop (unknown what country this was in, but likely the Middle East) when it was fired upon by “bad guys” with a Rocket-Powered Grenade (RPG).  This was all caught by on camera by an MQ-9 Reaper drone flying “top cover” for the C-130.  Fortunately, the RPG missed the C-130, but the Reaper operators alerted the Joint Terminal Attack Controller, who approved them to “prosecute” the target.  https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/32925/militants-fire-rpg-at-c-130-then-an-mq-9-reaper-crew-promptly-locates-tracks-and-kills-them
