Educate with the art and science of aviation.
inspire
We believe in you and your extraordinary intellectual capacity. Knowledge enables and transforms our world and its people. Duluth Aviation Institute is dedicated to educating the public with knowledge of aviation and aerospace. Through aviation, our planet Earth is viewed and explored from above. Through aviation, space travel is achievable. Robert Gilruth, Father of Human Space Flight, grew up in Duluth, dreamed big, and solved the greatest engineering challenge of our nation: to land man on the moon. Our physical science aviation unit is named the Gilruth Continuum in honor of his great contribution to mankind.

fly
It is time to put your knowledge into practice. Every flight is logged into a pilot logbook to document flight time and experience. Lessons learned and used will build knowledge and wisdom. Science is asking questions, experimenting with hypothesis, and discovering solutions. Art is the creation of our hands and the work of our minds. Building an airplane is as exciting as flying an airplane.
Gilruth Continuum implements the 5E Instructional Model
