Year 9 iSTEM

Mr Marshall's iSTEM class have been exploring the engineering and technology around flight.

We've been using the Power Anchor to design, build and refine model aircraft with the goal of making an airframe capable of carrying the largest weight possible.

Students started with a basic airframe model and have been exploring further into streamlining, how lift is generated by an aircraft wing, what airfoils do and how control surfaces work on aircraft.

The current weight record for the basic airframe is four large bulldog clips, however, we're confident that with a decent look into aerodynamics we can lift so much more.
