  Airbus Work Experience

  During this work experience, I gained an insight into the broad role that Airbus has within the aerospace industry. I enjoyed hearing from employees across all sectors about their careers and enjoyed exploring each through a variety of tasks. One of which involved designing a future sustainable aircraft. This involved research into new and developing technologies. I produced and critiqued numerous designs before finalising a concept.My fascination in this topic led me to conduct an Extended Essay in aviation sustainability, where I focused largely on sustainable aviation fuels, but also other technologies, which I had learnt from Airbus (such as H2 and zero emission aircraft).
