iLEAD Lancaster’s Soaring Aeronautics Project: Glider on Campus and First Flights
Through a partnership with iLEAD Student Aerospace Projects, iLEAD Lancaster offers the Soaring Aeronautics Project. Through this project, learners use the engineering design process to fabricate and launch their own gliders, interact with a full-scale glider, learn from glider pilots about flight controls and aerodynamics, and ultimately fly a glider!
Preflight training on simulators supports the development of flight and navigation skills. The history of flight, anatomy of birds, current experimental gliders, and meteorology are woven in to extend and enhance knowledge, giving meaning to research and writing.
Special thanks to iLEAD Student Aerospace Projects, Skylark North Glider School, and Edwards Air Force Base for guiding and inspiring our learners!
