Newton Flight Academy

Newton Flight Academy at Glasgow Science Centre is an immersive experience where you can take the controls of one of our three state-of-the-art full motion flight simulators.

In the cockpit, there's a realistic wrap-around 180-degree view of the landscape generated from real map data. There's full feedback from the controls allowing you to feel every slight adjustment to your flight as the simulator cabin moves. Overall, the Newton Flight Academy flight simulator experience lasts around 40-minutes with 30-minutes of flight time. Opening hours vary. During school holidays, Newton Flight Academy is open weekdays and weekends.
