Motors, generators, rotors, windings, transformers, switches and all sorts of controls are available in our Electrical Lab to play with and learn the properties of electrical energy and the amazing physics of its relationship with magnetism. There is so much to learn, that if you are truly interested, you can take a peek already into our library where we assembled some basic material, courtesy of the US Navy.
The Avionics Lab is closely related to the previously discussed labs. While the “instrumentation” is what the pilot sees, avionics are the “guts” behind everything and not necessarily visible. Avionics means “aviation electronics”. It comprises electronic systems for use on aircraft, satellites and spacecraft, comprising communications, navigation and the display and management of multiple systems.
Flight instruments are the instruments in the cockpit of an aircraft that provide the pilot with information about the flight situation of that aircraft. The term is sometimes used loosely as a synonym for cockpit instruments as a whole, in which context it can include instruments for engine, navigational and communication equipment.
The airframe of an airplane is the basic plane without the power plant and other parts that are regularly replaced. The major parts of the airframe are the fuselage, wings, tail assembly, engine mounts, and landing gear (visible in the last photo, and yes, tires need occasional replacement).

In our General Engineering Shop we learn to work with hand tools to make sure the individual parts fit precisely. What you will learn here, you can apply anywhere. Our six girls shown here will never have to ask someone to help them to repair something. Even for guys it surely removes the syndrome of two left hands…
This professional Machine Shop has lathe machines, drilling machines, grinding machines and a milling machine.
This is the Piston Engine Lab. A piston or reciprocating engine, is a heat engine that uses one or more reciprocating pistons to convert pressure into a rotating motion. Opposed, air-cooled four and six cylinder piston engines are by far the most common engines used in small general aviation aircraft requiring up to 400 horsepower (300 kW) per engine.
The library materials we mentioned above will also give you some primer on that.
