Aviation Careers
Forces of Flight is an immersive, extended reality hands-on experience designed for students in grades 6-8. The activity aims to demonstrate forces of flight and how they are applied to various aircraft. Students will learn about the principle forces of flight: lift, weight, thrust, and drag, and how these principles are applied to some of the aircraft made by Boeing. They will even get to fly them in a flight simulator! Ultimately, students will be able to apply what they have learned to create their own model airplane, write journal entries like a real pilot, and detail the decisions they made to safely operate their very first flight.

Companion Activities & Educator Guide
In the Forces of Flight Experience Activity, students will draw on what they learned in the flight simulation in which they learn about the forces of flight, as well as why and how things fly. Ultimately, students will then be able to apply what they have learned to create their own model airplane, write journal entries like a real pilot, and detail the decisions they made to safely operate their very first flight.
