Welcome to the Robert Morgade Library's idea lab flight simulator.
The purpose of the flight simulator is to:
- Introduce the world of STEAM through aviation to the area’s youth
- Science - students will learn the physics of flight
- Technology - students will use aircraft controls and avionics for navigation
- Engineering - students will learn how to make airfoils and experiment with designs, then test them on the simulator
- Art - students will learn Photoshop and apply artistic design to their personal aircraft
- Math - students will engage in an economic system where they need to be aware of fuel costs and management
- Allow those interested the opportunity to experience flight before taking on the financial responsibility of actual flight lessons
- Provide those who cannot obtain a pilot’s certificate the opportunity to learn to fly
- Provide pilots the resource to practice flights prior to actually beginning their journeys
