The day was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for families, particularly children, to encounter the world of aviation for the first time. A multitude of workshops and activities were planned for them to introduce them to the fascinating world of aeronautics, where their parents work, in an entertaining way. The most talented youngsters were allowed to build an aeroplane with their own hands, and there were also educational activities, inflatables, face painting, and even a flight simulator.
The company opened its doors to visitors early in the morning, providing a thorough tour of its facilities. Attendees were able to observe and learn about the several departments that work together to manufacture and assemble big carbon fiber components for various models of the world’s leading aircraft manufacturers. More than 50 employees volunteered to provide explanations and answer questions about their work. “I had no idea these carbon parts could be manufactured on these automated machines.“
“How cool I found the clean room. It’s huge“.
The open day included entertainment and team spirit, in addition to a tour of the company’s facilities. Refreshments and snacks were served, and the celebration concluded with a rock concert of Q71QueenTribute, which was their 100th concert.
The event organizers were very pleased with the open day’s success.
“It was a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate what we do and how we do it. It has also provided an opportunity to meet with families and educate young people about the different roles and opportunities available in the aviation sector.”
The open day at Aernnova Composites Illescas was a huge success, offering visitors with an instructive, thrilling, and unforgettable experience. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people interested in the world of aeronautics to learn about the technology, challenges, and opportunities offered by carbon fiber component manufacturing.
“I now understand why reducing aircraft weight is so important for lowering fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.”
