Every year the number of visitors of the Institute of Aviation grows (last edition gathered more than 20 000 people) as well as media interest. During previous events more than 120 companies, institutions and offices dealing with aviation, new technologies and the cosmos in very different ways were presented.
The theme of this year’s event is science fiction movies, which is why for all the visitors there will be waiting unique attractions maintained in this style: iconic cars from both Batman and Transformers movies and robots and aircraft models from Star Wars.
There will be plenty of attractions and events related to aviation and cosmos. On this particular night the Institute of Aviation will provide its visitors modern chassis, materials and repairs laboratories. For the first time the cutting-edge bearing test lab opened in 2014 will be available for visitors. Also opened will be the wind tunnels, including Poland’s largest low-speed tunnel with a diameter of 5 meters. Guests will see the giant CF6 engine and visit educational engine laboratory. Engineers will talk not only about their work for the airline industry, but also for the energy and oil industry.
As always, there will be many interesting planes and helicopters. Guests will also see the latest gyroplanes, Martian rovers, mobile robots, flying drones or flight simulators.
Space fans will observe autumn constellations from the open terrace of the Center for Innovative Aviation and Space Technologies, located at the Institute of Aviation. This place, because of the excellent view of the landing and taking-off aircraft at the Frederic Chopin airport will also be made available for spotters. For them and for all enthusiasts the invitation to the workshop of aerial photography is addressed.
