The Nuts and Bolts of Aircraft Construction through the ages.

In just over 100 years, air travel has gone from fantasy to what some would call an everyday mundane reality, but have you ever wondered how you actually go about building an aircraft? In 2010, Filton celebrates 100 years of involvement in aircraft manufacturing; how far have we come and where are we going?

The speaker is Adam Williams, Manufacturing Engineer at Airbus Operations Ltd, Filton, Bristol.

Arrive between 7.30 and 7.45 for 8pm start; finish by 10pm. £3.50 to cover costs – booking essential on 0117 956 1162 or 07989 412319. Details of other science cafes at www.sciencecafe.co.uk.
