Primary 6 visit Ayrshire College

On Monday 27th Primary 6 visited Ayrshire College’s aeronautical department to learn some more information about flight.

Some pupils managed to try to take off/fly/land a plane in the flight simulator.  A wind tunnel let us understand thrust and drag.  We learned about different parts of the plane and the composite materials that make up the outside of the aircraft.  We even got to sit in a Bulldog!
