TCruise #1: Basics of FlightStudents will learn about the basics of flight: from Bernoulli’s Principle and Newton’s Laws to the comparison between gliders and powered planes. Students will apply their knowledge by selecting a glider to build/fly and then compete with other students to determine which plane flies the greatest distance, stays in the air the longest, or is the fastest. Students will also become familiar with flying the X-12B Triad by flying a short familiarization flight and then demonstrate their new knowledge by planning and flying a series of cross country flights. Students will learn the basics of radar and communications skills so that they can support those students who are flying.

Teachers will be provided with 1 Triad Forces of Flight Poster, 1 miniature flight helmet memento, and 1 boxed Basic Flight activity for use in their classroom.

WCruise #2: Eglin Air ShowDuring the Eglin Air Show Cruise, students will learn 21st century workforce skills such as: leadership, teamwork, critical thinking, and communication as they plan and then fly their six-plane formation air show at Eglin Air Force Base. First, students will become familiar with the X-12B Triad, radar, and communications and then students will demonstrate their leadership and collaboration skills as they fly a practice air show. The students will have an opportunity to evaluate their squadron’s performance and make adjustments before the squadron flies their “recorded” air show.

Teachers will be provided with 1 Triad Forces of Flight Poster, 1 miniature flight helmet memento, and 1 boxed Basic Flight activity for use in their classroom.

OCruise #3: Tampa Rally DemoThe Tampa Rally Demo Cruise teaches students about the many flight capabilities (supersonic, hover, Sport Utility Vehicle like taxiing, etc.) of the X-12B Triad as they compete within their squadron and Carrier Air Group to see who can complete all of the Rally objectives in the shortest time. Students will utilize 21st century workforce skills such as: collaboration, critical thinking, and communication as they coordinate and score each crew’s performance from the Joint Operations Center.

SCruise #4: BallisticsDuring the Ballistics Cruise, students will learn about Newton’s Laws as they investigate what influences any object dropped from an aircraft. Students will practice their new knowledge in the Joint Intelligence Center and then apply it when they fly their missions from Ambition. Students will utilize 21st century workforce skills such as: collaboration, critical thinking, and communication as they coordinate and score each crew’s accuracy from the Joint Operations Center.
