Online webinar
As part of the Global Innovators’ Challenge, we’re excited to offer complimentary webinars to all participants, including Air League Members and non-Members alike.
As part of our winter series of webinars, we welcome Squadron Leader Andy King, serving as a RAF Engineer (Aerosystems) Officer in the Royal Air Force. During this wide-ranging session, Andy will focus on the support team behind the Red Arrows. There will be two key topics:
- How innovative approaches allow us to continue delivering the world-famous Red, White and Blue with a 50 year-old jet ‘today’.
- Why innovation is important for the team’s reputation, and what we are doing to remain relevant ‘tomorrow’.
