STEM Aviation graduates spread their wings
Twenty-seven Graduates of the Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Aviation Program participated in graduation glider flights during the summer, school break. Graduates who participated were from North Middle School, Winchester; East Middle School and West Middle School, Tullahoma; and Westwood Middle School, Manchester. In the program, students fly virtual aircraft to study science concepts such as energy/forces and modify existing aircraft designs to improve aircraft performance and learn the engineering process. STEM Aviation Program graduate Madelyn Parker (center), from West Middle School, was able to participate in one of the glider flight sessions, and snapped a selfie in flight, under the supervision of Gary Davis (right), a Federal Aviation Administration certified glider flight instructor for the Eagleville Soaring Club.
