Dear Parents and students,

What does the future look like for aviation?  From remotely operated drone aircraft to city Uber hoppers, we have a pretty exciting decade ahead.  But we can’t forget how aviation impacts our environment.  Even noise pollution is a consideration!  As aircraft increase in numbers, imagine a sky full of manned and autonomous aircraft that buzz along day and night!  Do we really want that noise in our communities?   How can we manage the flow of traffic?

FLIGHT SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE NOW!
