Discover sky high science with this flight school set. Build your own glider and learn how to fly it. Learn all about aerodynamics. Ages 8+.

The Uberstix aeroforce glider is a construction toy that flies! Instructions are included to build three different gliders with this Turbiner kitset. Then design your own models to fly and perform aerial stunts. Test pilot's licence also included. Ages 8-Adult.

The kit includes a colorful 28-page book, instruction sheets for making five types of paper airplanes, and most materials needed to conduct eleven experiments and activities related to flight. Technical concepts such as gravity, lift and drag are introduced with the turn of almost every page. Examples and illustrations are used to show how things work. The glider model, one of the best things in the kit, is not only neat looking, it has a pretty substantial structure (foam core with plastic and rubber reinforced components), and... read more

With the twist of a rubber band, tomorrow's aircraft engineers can learn the art and science of aviation. Loaded with everything needed to build three amazing rubber-band-powered contraptions including a high-performance plane, a high-flying helicopter, and the fantastic flap-a-copter (also known as a ornithopter), this title comes with easy-to-follow instructions, a troubleshooting section and tips on how to improve your plane's performance and make it circle,oar and loop-the-loop.

A fun kit for kids who can't get enough of water guns, Nerf guns, and other shooters. This one launches puffy marshmallows.

For certified glider pilots and students preparing for certification in the glider category, this book--prepared by the Federal Aviation Administration--is a resource without equal. Covering components and systems, flight instruments, performance limitations, preflight and ground operations, launch and recovery procedures, flight maneuvers, traffic patterns, soaring weather, radio navigation, and much more, it lays out in authoritative detail the science, mechanics, and regulations that every pilot needs to know. Plus, it contains ... read more
