During my junior year of high school I am currently taking Aerospace Engineering. In Aerospace, we are studying the physics and dynamics of how planes and rockets fly. In a simulation program, I have theoretically learned how to fly a plane by controlling the mechanisms and mechanics through flaps, airfoils, etc., and used the VORs to navigate. I have mapped flight plans and started to learn how to design airplanes.
Here are the projects I did during the year.
Here are the skills I learned:
