Posted in Labels: aerospace engineering, aviation, flight, free resources, STEM
Microsoft Flight Simulator is now available for free. The free version includes tutorials, online and offline play, aircraft, missions on Hawaii. You can pay to get more aircraft, missions, scenery, and other content.
The tutorials are great and it is easy to get started.
I took pilot lessons in college (almost got license too and then instructor graduated. Will try again soon!) and Flight Simulator was a great way to practice and train.
This is a great resource to have students explore the science of flight and aircraft while having fun.
Aerodynamics, Forces and Newton's Laws, Lift, Drag/Friction, Thrust, Controls.
