Airplanes - Learn about aviation history and flight.
Ground School - Learn the basics of flight through an interactive computer simulator ground school by flying designed missions or flying your own mission.
Tech Workshop - Build an ACRO-Sport Wing Rib, construct an instrument case out of sheet metal, and design an airfoil using composite material.
