While the B-17 was known for its ability to absorb punishment, the B-24 was prized for its range, speed, and heavy payload capacity. However, these advantages came with significant risks and engineering quirks that made the “Flying Boxcar” a challenge to fly and a

When you walk past the Learjet 24D at our Broomfield campus, it's easy to admire its sleek lines and iconic design. But did you know that the engine type on this historic aircraft helped build the foundation for the private business jet industry? It took a massive leap in engineering to get there. Meet the General Electric CJ-610: the engine that bridged the gap between military engineering and modern business jet industry. ✈️ This is the kind of engineering evolution our students get to train o
