The Unmanned Aerial Systems (Drones) class has been learning the FAA regulations to fly UAS.  At the end of the course, the students will be able to take their FAA Remote Pilot License Test.

This past week the students from the Aviation class took a break from the book work to learn about the forces that allow aircraft to fly and experiment with paper airplane drones. 

The students designed their own paper airplanes and then fitted them with PowerUp 3.0 drones. 

It was fun to see the students quickly realize what designs help airplanes to fly and what doesn't work.  

What a fun activity for these students.

 Thank you Tammy Olsen for giving our ALC students such a fun, hands-on experience.
