Experience the thrill of aviation with hands-on flight simulations that mirror real-world scenarios. Our programs teach the fundamentals of flight dynamics and navigation in a unique and exhilarating learning environment.
An immersive and transformative STEM learning experience aboard a state-of-the-art aircraft carrier simulator.






In today’s modern world, STEM skills are crucial for growth, leadership, and professional success, and that’s what makes National Flight Academy such a rewarding experience.
Together with our partners, we provide a launchpad for students, adults, and corporate teams to explore the power of STEM through programs based on real-world Naval Aviation missions. It all takes place on AMBITION CVT-11, a four-story, 102,000 sq. ft simulated aircraft carrier that’s staffed with aviation experts and equipped with the latest in flight simulation technology.
This dynamic approach not only boosts practical knowledge, but also fosters critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership skills in a uniquely immersive environment. It’s not just a place to learn. It’s a platform where futures take flight.
