Our Fundamentals of Flight lab session this afternoon was absolutely amazing. We got to fly the planes which we had made over the last 3 weeks. We split ourselves into groups of 2 and each group made 6 planes in total: low aspect ratio, high aspect ratio, delta wing, low wing, Large high aspect ratio ans Large low aspect ratio. We flew the planes from an average height of about 1.7m and then recorded the distance and time the plane flew.

 Through these exercises, we got to learn a lot about planes and how the wings and rudder affect flight. While learning, we also got to have a lot of fun. We joked with one another, and sometimes teased one another. To summarize, it is truly an experience to remember. Happy flying!!
