Physics and Flight at The Imaginarium

Do know what pitch, roll and yaw are and how they relate to flying? Do you know how aircraft are similar to flight designs found in nature? Do you know what the four forces of basic flight are?

Discover the answers to these questions and more The Imaginarium's Take Flight! exhibit.

Learn about Orville & Wilbur Wright, Alaska's bush plans like the deHavilland Beaver and Piper Cub - and Alaska's bush pilot pioneers - Carl Eielson, Bob Reeve, Pearl Caska, Russ Merrill and Joe Crisson.

Step into a cockpit and fly a plane! Use the air cannon to shoot a harmless ball of air!
