Aircraft Theory of Flight and Operations is an introductory course designed to equip students with knowledge related to the theory of flight and aircraft operation. The course presents the various aspects of aerodynamics and how lift is created and maintained. Students construct models to aid in the transition from theory to application of concepts. Career and Technical Student Organizations are integral, co-curricular components of each career and technical education course.
