The Aero Club was created by Paragon’s CEO Richard Rays, an avid aviator himself, and aims to inspires kids’ interest in science by allowing them to build and fly remote-controlled model airplanes. The process gives educators a variety of opportunities to introduce flight-related concepts from physics, engineering and mathematics.
The program consists of lessons, beginning with a seminar on flight technique, basic plane construction and hands-on flight training during an outdoor fly-in.
