Did you know that long before powered aircraft existed, early aviation pioneers learned to fly by building and testing wooden gliders?! These simple models helped them understand one of the most important concepts in flight: Stability.

Come and visit us at the Aerospace Robotics Control & Simulation Lab for an interesting hand-on activity where you will design, build, and fly your very own balsa wood glider.

This is more than just making a glider - it is about learning why it flies and the way it does, and most importantly how you can make it stable in flight.
