Plane design and Construction

(Entering 4th or 5th grade) features a series of experiments conducted in a space laboratory like NASA's "White Room".  The results and solutions could have the potential to benefit the human race.  Cadets will discover and learn about concepts from ground to space including machines, engineering, circuitry, science, weather and computer training.  Plan on working and constructing and launching a bottle rocket.

 

Space Station Design and Construction

(Entering 5th or 6th grade) focuses on an in-depth study of the principles of flight and cutting edge studies of the FAA and NASA Aeronautics programs.  Cadets will apply the knowledge as they operate our advanced flight simulator and hovercraft.

 

Cadets explore a Coast Guard Helicopter

(Entering 6th, 7th & 8th) includes Space Architecture, Living in Space, Physics, Rocketry, Planetary Studies & a fieldtrip to the Dover AFB.  The four cadet wings’ learn about science and technology as they related to AeroSpace Science.
