Fly To Learn Information

Created by teaching professionals and the engineers at X-Plane to foster student interest in science, technology, engineering, and math through exciting aviation-based lessons. Fly to Learn© makes learning fun and exciting. Using our curriculum, students learn engineering by successfully designing, building, and flying virtual planes using the X-Plane software. X-Plane uses blade element theory to create a very affordable simulator that is ultra-realistic. Traditionally, students try to build and fly balsa wood model airplanes. Results are often disappointing, with students never sure if the crash was due to their design or their building skills. Using X-Plane, students and teachers can quickly build and fly airplanes, testing out new ideas in rapid fashion. Using X-Plane means students spend more time on science and engineering and less time waiting for glue to dry.
