Hold fast to control wheel, or I’d be a pilot, yes I would! Just let them teach me first!


VDA_0324On a Saturday morning in September, scientists at Skolkovo Innovation Center switched off from urgent matters on hearing clear voices of children.  Children of Volga-Dnepr Group Employees turned to be guest visitors at the Boeing Training Center, and participants to a Corporate University’s unique  project, Management for Fun for Children and Adults. On that day, the children met real Pilots from ABC, accomplished riveting tests and experiments which very easily and comprehensively answer the question why and how an airplane flies, and even tried themselves in a Pilot’s role!

Children have learned why the wing has such a special shape, what the heart of an airplane is, and how not to lose one’s way in the sky.

 

It’s best to see everything with one’s own eyes, and of course try by touching, switching and pressing!
