Problems and Solutions in Aircraft Design
http://www.tsgc.utexas.edu/lists/teachers/links/ii/35/link_02.html

Celebrate the history of aviation with a lesson for K-2. The Wright brothers were the first to achieve manned powered flight in December 1903. As we approach 2003, we begin to celebrate that we've been able to fly for almost 100 years! Distinguished African American aviators have made important contributions to the history of flight. NASA has a long history of contributions to airplane design research. Did you know that before NASA there was the National Advisory Committee for Aviation. Orville Wright was a member of that committee. Have you ever thought about what life would be like without airplanes? With this lesson, students will identify problems that they, the Wright Brothers, or NASA scientists face when designing an aircraft, and will identify solutions to these.
