Weather Essentials for Aviators
After becoming familiar with the factors that affect lift from the previous Flight Basics lesson and going over key weather concepts from this lesson, students will be expected to make a device to demonstrate low levels of wind speed. They will be guided through creating a stand, a balancing arm, and a uniform airfoil. Once these are completed, students will experiment using changes in weight to determine a scale and measuring device for wind speed.
