First Flight Activity
Owls are quiet flyers and produce very little noise due to their unique feathers and wings. Other birds learn to fly with a combination of natural instincts and lots of practice. NASA engineers study sound to help design aircraft that are quieter to benefit everyone and everything on the ground and in the sky. In this module, explore flight and with an airplane adventure activity and build a harmonica to explore sound.
