Deerpark Robotics
Deerpark Middle School’s robotics club engineers have video conference with UPS pilot and former F-16 fighter pilot, Jim Crowley, about their airplane engine cover design. The engine cover was designed to prevent birds from dying when they encounter a plane engine during flight. Mr. Crowley praised their design for being aerodynamic and environmentally conscious. He asked them to think about the benefits vs costs of saving the birds compared to the weight and amount of fuel that extra weight would require.
