Drafting Students Visit Air Museum

The Computer Aided Drafting and Design students along with their instructors Mr. Carpentier and Mr. Derbyshire visited the New England Air Museum in Windsor Locks in October. The students learned how the designs of the vintage planes contributed to wind resistance and that over time the aircraft became more aerodynamic. Another interesting fact that students learned was that certain aircraft used during the World War II were never painted to in order to reduce weight and increase fuel millage. There are many examples of aircraft at the museum spanning the evolution of flight.
