We love airplanes and education

Who We Are

Through our study of aircraft design,
we have grown to love the mathematics behind flight.

Our goal is to provide world-class aeronautical education to all who would like to design future aircraft or further research.

What We Believe

Quality education should be accessible to all

Relationships are key to learning

Education should be engaging and challenging

Learning is fundamental to progress, and progress is happiness
