HillviewAviationClub Hillview Aviation Club Welcome to Hillview Middle School's Aviation Club. This is a STEM-based club that promotes interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through the planning, designing, construction, and testing of model airplanes, helicopters, and multi-rotor systems in a safe, fun, and enriching environment. Our goals are to have students develop the team-working skills required in today’s technological workforce by participating in projects where everyone’s contribution will lead to a successful outcome. Some of these mock missions include: Use of multi-rotor systems to carry water, goods, or medical supplies to hard-to-reach areas Use gliders to survey areas affected by natural disasters. Use small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) to help with search and rescue The support of the STEM curriculum is extremely important and do so by: Science - Studying aerodynamics, wing design, and all other aspects of flight. Technology – Using CAD software to create airframes and Realflight simulators for piloting and airframe testing. Engineering – Creating models to be tested, modified, and flown with different power sources. Mathematics – Calculating power systems and using equations where the following variables play an important role in determining appropriate power systems: watts, amps, voltage, and weight. Calculating flight times using smart computerized chargers. Types of aircraft used Slow-fly planes Foam Jets Multi-rotor aircraft Gliders Rubber band powered Collective pitch helicopters So, if becoming an engineer, pilot, or just have that innate interest for one of the STEM related fields, we invite you to check us out.
