What field trips happened last year?

Leonardo Helicopter:

Last summer we had a behind the scenes tour of Leonardo Helicopters.   Leonardo builds helicopters for military and commercial operators from a large manufacturing plant in Northeast Philadelphia, one of 4 the company has throughout the globe.    The helicopters that are built at this plant are used by militaries, governments, and private users all over the world for a variety of missions, including Homeland Security, Fire-Fighting, Emergency Medical Service (Medevac),  Search and Rescue, VIP and Corporate transportation.   Students got to see and learn first-hand from Leonardo’s engineers and pilots about how helicopters are designed and built, which will include special behind-the-scenes tours of the manufacturing lines and the pilot training academy.

Off-campus field trip: Boeing Ridley Park

Last summer we had a behind the scenes tour of the Boeing Ridley Park facility. Boeing is a leading producer of both commercial and military aircraft, and the Ridley Park site is part of the Boeing Defense Vertical Lift Division. Boeing Ridley Park is the manufacturing center for the H-47 Chinook aircraft, the V-22 Osprey fuselage and Common Configuration – Readiness and Modernization (CC-RAM), and delivery center for the MH-139 aircraft. About 4,500 employees work at this site. Students got an opportunity to tour the production lines for the H-47 and V-22 and also got to interact and learn from the engineers who are working on these amazing products.

 

Where are we going this summer?

We will post our trips as they are confirmed this spring.  Check back or call us!
