AIRCRAFT DESIGN CHALLENGE VIRTUAL FLIGHT. REAL AMAZEMENT.
OBJECTIVE I will use the engineering design process to create an aircraft that can fly safely over America. INSTRUCTIONS Aircrafts were used to capture video footage of each of the FlyOver America locations listed below. In this challenge, you will be asked to create and build a model aircraft that could be built for use in the creation of a FlyOver America Version 2.0. Please follow each step carefully and good luck!

IMAGINE Use the boxes below to brainstorm different aircraft possibilities. Be ready to share your ideas when you are finished. PLAN Draw your design with details. Challenge yourself to include measurements! AIRCRAFT DESIGN
CREATE Build it! IMPROVE Test and revise the model. CHALLENGE Participate with other individuals or groups to see which design travels the farthest distance, has the most straight flight path, or stays in the air the longest time before landing. CONCLUSIONS Use the sections below and a partner to explore both positive and negative impacts of aircrafts on our planet. Positive impacts to human life include: Negative impacts to human life include: AIRCRAFT DESIGN
