Description

The laws of physics are perceived as complicated, and difficult to explain. Popular media and school textbooks do provoke some issues perceived as challenging to understand. In general opinion, it is a disliked and complicated subject. We show that one of the solutions to this problem is to show students the practical application of physics in the fascinating field of aviation. An example is a workshop during which we explain why mass distribution in an airplane is important and what torque has to do with it. This is what we try to do at the Aviation Education Center.
