Demonstration kit Flight and flying



The kit contains apparatus and resources for demonstrating the fundamental processes and relationships which make flying possible due to static or dynamic lift and by reaction engines.
Using a hot-air balloon as an example, it is possible to impressively yet simply explain and illustrate that particular form of flight.
The response of differently shaped bodies in the presence of a flow of air is investigated using various experiment set-ups, and thereby a more detailed understanding of the pressure and air
resistance arising can be gained.
A model rocket can be used to demonstrate how rockets fly even without the presence of an atmosphere.
