The Dirtmeister will take a look at early attempts to fly from the work of Leonardo da Vinci to the first Wright flyer. Along the way, we’ll explore the science of why hot air balloons float, how Bernoulli’s principle gives airplane wings their lift and why rockets can fly when there is no air in space. The program concludes with a blast as we launch one of The Dirtmeister’s own homemade rockets!
