On this day in 1927, Charles Lindbergh landed the Ryan NYP "Spirit of St. Louis" at Le Bourget Field near Paris, completing the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight. He was greeted by a wildly enthusiastic crowd of 100,000 after traveling 33 hours, 30 minutes, and 3,610 miles. "Spirit of St. Louis" is in our collection and is on display at the Museum in DC.

Once you dive into Aerodynamics and CFD, airplanes stop being just machines. You start seeing the invisible physics happening around them every second. ✈️🌬️
Suddenly, every takeoff, landing, and turn tells a deeper story.
You begin noticing:
• How wing shape controls lift and efficiency
• Angle of attack changes during rotation and flare
• Wingtip vortices forming behind heavy aircraft
• Shockwaves and compressibility effects at high speeds
• Airflow separation and turbulence around the fuselage
• Engine nacelle design and inlet airflow behavior
• Why flap settings dramatically change lift and drag
• How vortices, pressure gradients, and boundary layers interact
• The reason some aircraft “float” during landing while others plant firmly on the runway
• How CFD simulations reveal flow structures the human eye can’t see
Even something as simple as condensation over a wing during humid weather suddenly becomes fascinating instead of ordinary.
You stop just watching airplanes.
You start analyzing them. 🔥✈️

El 20 de mayo de 1789 nace en Rosey (Francia) Marcelino José Bento Champagnat, fundador del Instituto de los .
Su infancia transcurre en un contexto rural marcado por la pobreza, la escasez de recursos educativos y una alta mortalidad infantil. Esta realidad marcó profundamente su sensibilidad hacia los niños y jóvenes, especialmente aquellos con menos oportunidades.
Años más tarde, su experiencia personal lo llevó a comprender la urgencia de una educación accesible en las zonas rurales, dando origen a una misión que se expandiría por el mundo.
Hoy, los en los cinco continentes celebran este nacimiento como el inicio de una historia educativa y espiritual que continúa viva.
