Lab Rats Season 2 Episode 6: Aeronautics
The mechanics and motors of aircraft has changed so dramatically over time, from the Wright Brothers’ biplanes to passenger airlines and military helicopters. This week in aeronautics, Nicholas and Alayna learn a brief history of ‘flying firsts’ and question just what gives birds the ability to fly. In lieu of International Women’s Day, we also celebrate women who have been pioneers in the male-dominated industries of aviation and aerospace exploration to reach for the sky and the stars.
