Flight has been a fascination of mankind for centuries. This focus group will focus on the topic of aviation and its developments and effects on society. The class will explore the many realms of aviation from travel and transportation of people and cargo to its multiple uses in the military. The course will be run through discussion and response on short articles and movie clips. We will explore how accurately planes are depicted in cinema such as movies like Top Gun, Pearl Harbor, and Flight of The Intruder. The class will start off discussing the attitudes and use of early aviation through World War 2. From there it will discuss the use of planes during the jet age and the modern era. It will conclude in talking about the future of aviation with space tourism and robotic unmanned war planes (UAV’S).
