PROJECT FLIGHT-DAY 5

Today, Project Flight traveled to JBI Helicopter to learn about the different parts of the helicopter and what it needs to be able to withstand in order to take flight. We witnessed the procedures and preparations of a helicopter taking flight.

We looked at different models of helicopters and how much they cost to own, repair and run. 

Fox News uses this special stabilized camera attached under the nose of the helicopter to capture news.

Franz from JBI Helicopter explains to students the functions of different helicopters.

We also learned about different types of drones and their purposes in the aviation field such as fixing bridges or checking power lines.
