Sonex Aircraft, LLC announced today the release of Sonex Education Starter Packs, a scalable metalworking project and curriculum guide intended to provide youth with an introductory exposure to aircraft construction. For schools and community organizations wishing to eventually build a Sonex Aircraft Complete Airframe Kit as a full Sonex Education Initiative participating institution, this Starter Pack can be a great “pilot project” to determine the feasibility of using metal aircraft construction as a teaching tool and catalyst for inspired learning. For those who do not intend to build a complete aircraft, this Starter Pack is still a great way to introduce metalworking and technical communication skills to students within the exciting context of aviation.
This fun and interesting metalworking project is the actual assembly constructed by prospective Sonex Aircraft builders at Sonex Builder Workshops held several times annually at the Sonex Aircraft, LLC factory in Oshkosh, WI. It is designed to teach the basic metalworking skills required to build our line of aircraft, which offer the Best Performance Per Dollar in the kit aircraft marketplace. This project and its documentation have been refined via use by hundreds of Sonex Workshop attendees and it is ideally suited for youth education.
