July 27, 2009 - Oshkosh, Wisconsin - AirVenture attendees can discover the latest innovations in aircraft fuels and ways to fly affordably at the new Aviation Learning Center, supported by Chevron Global Aviation. The center is located right along the flightline just east of the Forums Plaza.

“One of the hallmarks of EAA over the past 50-plus years has been the constant innovation in all areas of flight, and the desire to find more efficient and inexpensive ways to enjoy the freedom of flight,” said Ron Wagner, EAA manager of field relations. “We also know that very often, the ideas presented at Oshkosh spark even more creative thought about how to make flying more economical, safe, and fun.”

At the Aviation Learning Center, you can learn about:

• Affordable Flying - Where members share ways they have discovered to make flying more affordable. This will consist of both aircraft on display and forums.
   

• Fuel Education - Where visitors can learn about the history of aviation fuels as well as get some glimpses of what the future may hold. This may include alternative fuels and new innovations. There will be hands-on demonstrations, displays, and forums.
   

• Electric Power for Aircraft - Much work is being done in this innovative area. Exhibits and forums featuring aircraft from around the world will tell the story of this pioneering work.
