Today we are learning about Engineering - CAD & Science - Forces
When you think about aviation, the career that usually comes to mind is a pilot. In this session, you will look in more depth at the design of a plane to understand the engineering and science involved in aviation.

Meet Sheila:
Sheila Scott OBE, was an English aviator who broke over 100 aviation records through her long distance flight endeavours. On a 34000-mile "world and a half", she became the first person to fly over the North Pole in a small aircraft.

Wrap an empty bottle in a paper cylinder. This will be the fuselage that holds the features of the plane together.
To create the wings, cut out 2 identical wings with an extra tab so we can tape this to the fuselage.

Now, fold up the end of the wings to make winglets. Across the back of the wing, make 4 small snips to make the flaps.

EXPLORE
Sheila Scott broke over 100 long-distance aviation records. One of her first planes was a 1950’s Thruxton Jackaroo. It was a small, light 4-seater propeller plane. Using a CAD programme, TinkerCAD, students should design a new modern plane for Sheila.
Ingredients:

EXPLORE
Start by researching the design of modern planes for ideas on how to make the new plane quicker, safer and also more eco-friendly.

EXPLORE
Sheila’s plane will also need to go through many different climates and face many different weather conditions.
Take all of this into consideration.
Have a go at designing a new plane in TinkerCAD.
