Brooklands Museum Super Visit 2024
We are welcoming our wonderful Scholars and alumni to join us for yet another exciting maths-based super visit!
Saturday the 14th of December 2024, 10.00-4.30pm
Maths Scholars will enjoy FREE ENTRY to Brooklands Museum for the day, including a group tour that introduces the museum’s rich motorsport and aviation history while showcasing key exhibits and the fascinating stories behind them. You'll also take part in the exciting Supersonic Workshop.
Beyond these activities, you'll have the freedom to explore the motorsport exhibitions, aviation collections, and interactive experiences at Brooklands Museum at your own pace.
Supersonic Numbers Workshop
About the Session
The Supersonic Numbers workshop builds of the work of German-British mathematician Joanna Weber.
While working at Brooklands, Joanna developed equations relating the speed of a plane to the angle of the shockwave it creates when travelling faster than the speed of sound. This led to the iconic delta-wings of the Concorde fleet, which were later built at Brooklands.
During this workshop, you will learn about supersonic flight, Weber’s work, and have a chance to walk through the first Concorde plane to take passengers. You’ll be able to fold and fly your own paper aeroplane, then calculate its maximum theoretical speed.
