Now that it is winter break, I will be able to update much more! Winter break could be fun, but sometimes your stuck at your house and your very very very very bored.
If thats your case, the sites below have interesting facts about aviation:

This one is mostly about the Boeing 747:

Raisbeck Aviation Highschool

A few days ago, I visited the Raisbeck Aviation High School Open House. I met many teachers and students, which were all welcoming to me. I noticed that many students had the same interests as me, and that I would make a lot of friends if I went to school.
There are many extra curriculum classes and clubs, and each one interested me. Aside from the Science Olympiad and Robotics team, which I would love to join if I got accepted, the Culture Club really interested me, as I love learning about other people's cultures and languages. Learning Japanese and Spanish is also something I would look forward to.
The facility is amazing, especially the cafeteria where they do assemblies. Every classroom had interesting posters and made me want to learn about the subject.
Many students are interns at places such as Boeing, the Museum of Flight, and other places where you could learn about Earth and overall science.
Raisbeck Aviation High School is a great school for people who love science and aviation with a great facility, and I think everyone that is interested should apply. Some people (including myself) live far from this school, but there are public transportations to get you there on time. Carpooling is another option.

Supersonic N2 Baseline

I am using the Open VSP software to modify aircraft designs.
The Supersonic N2 baseline is not a "real" aircraft, so I do not have any information about it. I do know that it would be a plane that would fly past the stratosphere, not as usual airplanes do.
The only thing I modified about this design is that I enlarged the engine. I also made the fuselage longer so it wouldn't flip over because of the strong engine and short body.

Lunar Plant Growth

This is an amazing experiment! We will definitely need to grow our own food in space for long-term trips, this is the first step towards a biosphere on the moon and mars!
