Vehicles: How Do Airplanes Fly?

How does an airplane fly? The principles of flight are discussed in this class at a beginner level, the basics of what forces of nature allow an airplane to fly. 

Topics included:
What are the forces of nature acting on an airplane?
What are the parts of an airplane and what part do they play in flight?
What is the difference between a propeller plane and a jet plane?
What is the difference between a glider, an airplane, a helicopter, and a rocket?

At the end of class, We will build 2 paper airplanes together that demonstrate the principles explored!

This is a fun filled whiteboarding class where the concepts discussed are illustrated through simple hand drawings. The language is age appropriate, the concepts are fundamental aimed at a deep understanding, not memorization of facts and names.  My goal is to inspire the students to dig deeper and learn more upon the foundation laid in this class, and have fun while doing it!

This class is part of a series on Vehicles and how they work. Each class is independent, and can be purchased separately. I recommend taking all the classes to become well rounded!
