Your New Destination for Hands-On Flight Learning!

Spread the Word: Aviation STEM Just Got Easier (and More Fun!)

For over a decade, Flite Test has been a trusted name in the RC flight community, bringing aviation to life for enthusiasts, builders, and innovators of all ages. What started in 2010 as a YouTube channel sharing fun and engaging RC aviation content has grown into a movement that blends entertainment with education.

Through years of experience designing aircraft, creating hands-on learning resources, and building a passionate community, Flite Test has been leading the efforts in making flight accessible and exciting.

Now, we’re bringing that same passion for flight into classrooms, homeschools, and STEM programs with FT STEM—a program designed to spark curiosity and make learning hands-on and engaging. By working alongside educators and STEM professionals, we’ve developed easy-to-use projects that help students explore the science of flight in a fun, approachable, and educational way.



From paper airplanes to drones, gliders to rockets, flight naturally inspires young minds and brings STEM concepts to life. FT STEM provides teachers with step-by-step guides and curriculum, hands-on kits, and the support needed to make aviation a part of any learning environment. Whether it’s a kindergarten class discovering how things fly or a high school group diving into aerodynamics and engineering, FT STEM makes engaging students at any level simple and fun.

What Educators Are Saying

Teachers and educators love FT STEM! But don’t take our word for it—read real stories from classrooms using our kits: 

The FT STEM program started, at least for me, at a very early age in my education. It was an experience of a lifetime, a gateway to the sky, and a fun hobby for anyone who wants to tackle something outside the ordinary. Continuing outside of middle school, the effects it has on my education and my future is immense.” – [Richard, teacher]

“FT STEM curriculum and the online Student Hangar has been a fantastic tool for connecting students in our homeschool community with the Flite Test lessons and resources we need for our various scratch-build aviation projects. The way the FT STEM lessons are organized and sequenced makes the STEM principles very approachable for students. I wish I would have discovered FT STEM sooner!” - [Mary, student]
