It features a circular table so it&#8217;s accessible from all sides, all the tools necessary are there on tethers, buckets underneath the table of all the parts needed, and a how to manual on putting the engine together. It would engage anyone who uses it to learn more about the structure of a plane engine and how it works, as well as encouraging teamwork and community. It would certainly allow visitors to get a hands-on, first hand experience and knowledge base on a plane engine. People would be encouraged to spend more time in the park through this activity, there&#8217;s a sense of accomplishment in contributing to the engine, and it wouldn&#8217;t be as environmentally impactful as the plastic puddle jumper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it&#8217;s perhaps a little too complicated for everyone to understand and bars younger audiences. Also, while the tools are easily tied to the table, the parts cannot be, so if a nut or bolt were to be lost it&#8217;d have to be replaced quickly. And if something breaks that&#8217;d also need replacement. It would require an experienced mechanic on hand to help guide patrons, and would also need to be disassembled every night or every time the engine&#8217;s completed. It&#8217;d be more work, time, and money than probably reasonable. It also begs the question: Is it inspiring future aviators or future engineers?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Start Your Engines is a station within the museum where anyone can contribute and help build a plane engine.
