109. Behind the Scenes of the G6 ft. Whitney Holt

Show Summary:

Have you heard the song “Like a G6”? The G6 is in reference to one of the most exclusive private jets in the world, the Gulfstream G650. In this episode, Natasha sits down with one of the engineers at Gulfstream, Whitney Holt, to talk all about this airplane, her role in aircraft simulation, and her journey to being an aerospace engineer. All the questions come from elementary and middle school Space Club students as part of the monthly Space Club Career Chats series. We invite you to share the video found on Vivify’s YouTube Channel with your students.
