Other Aerospace Education Sites and Educational Projects for Students Pages

from the Virginia Tech Aircraft Design Information Sources pages

There are some good aerodynamics education sites, perfect for self-instruction. I've linked to a few here. Also, I frequently get requests for material to use in student projects, including K-12. There are several sources for this material on the web. So I've collected a few. I'll add more sites as I find out about them. Thanks go to Col. Wayne F Hallgren at AFIT for some of the info.

• Beginner’s guide to aerodynamics from NASA Glenn Research Center
• Aerodynamics for students by Doug Auld, The University of Sidney
• Principles of Aeronautics for K-8 This is a very neat site that covers all kinds of topics. It includes stuff on the aerodynamics of sports.
  • To choose the language and reading level for this book
• NASA-sponsored Aerodynamics Web page
• A Useful site oriented toward RC Models (thanks to Jay Pembridge)
• Another extensive aerodynamics education site (thanks to Matt McCarty)
• AG Industries "Whitewings" Kits "Explore the Science of Flight" Kit with CD-ROM
• The Academy of Model Aeronautics The Academy of Model Aeronautics Home Page
• Build and Fly The education site of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA)
