At first glance, airplanes may seem like complicated systems that demand much more knowledge than what high school students can handle. However, most of the pioneers and founders of modern-day aerospace industries didn’t start their practice in aviation until after they graduated from college, some of them not having a college degree at all. Instead, many of them relied instead on knowledge gained from family businesses or prior experiences in machinery. Starting early, starting young, and starting big were the ingredients that drove them to success.
As the aviation industry moves to its second century, originals of many historical aircrafts have disappeared, leaving behind precious few copies that can be found in museums. These copies will never see the sky or feel the air flow through their wings again, so building a flyable copy of these airplanes for people to witness is a meaningful task that will inspire new generations of aerospace engineers.
The goal of this organization is to rebuild historical aircraft and fly them, one airplane at a time. The success of our organization, however, is measured by how many aspects of high school knowledge are practiced to a recordable artifact. By breaking down our goal into accessible and doable steps we can achieve our final goal.
