Bottle Rockets

Visitors
of all ages will have the opportunity to put their creativity and problem
solving skills to use at the Engineering Design activities offered throughout
the summer. Learn about flight, aircraft design, aerodynamic principles & Build a rocket onto an inverted water bottle
using materials provided.  Given 60 psi
of compressed air, design the rocket to launch as high as possible and carry a
half cup of water. Visitors will have
the chance to get up close and personal with the Museum’s 80 display
aircraft.  A variety of activities will
be offered each day such as build and fly challenge activities, flight science
demonstrations and the chance to sit in the cockpit of an aircraft. The
Museum's Flight Sim Spot will be open each of these days between 11:00 a.m. and
