Presentation
Recommended Grades: K-12
Focus: STEM
It’s a wild ride, but Navy aviators do it every day. Learn the secrets of taking off from a floating runway with only one tenth the length of a normal land runway. Study the four forces of flight and see how today’s Navy uses the scientific principles of two men from the 17th and 18th Centuries (Sir Isaac Newton and Daniel Bernoulli) to get modern day jets safely in the air from an aircraft carrier flight deck in two seconds. Come along with us and do what Navy fighter pilots do every day when they Kick the Tires and Light the Fires!
