Aircraft chic
In this resource from the IET, pupils make use of the theme, the future of flight, to create a presentation for the board of an airline company suggesting how they could re-use aircraft, or parts of aircraft, being retired from their fleet. They will research the different parts of an aircraft and existing products that make use of their old parts. They will use this information to create ideas for their own products.
Pupils will learn about the different parts of an aircraft and their purpose and understand the issues faced when disposing of aircraft that are no longer used. The activity could be used to explore career opportunities within the aviation engineering sector, or to discuss sustainability and the concept of a circular economy.
