About Sustainable Skies

As well as family-friendly fun, you'll also learn about the future challenges faced by flight and their solutions.

Times: 11:00 – 11:20 & 14:00 – 14:20, drop-in.
Join a guided tour of the Civil Aviation Hangar to find out more about the future of sustainable flight.

Shared Resources Challenge
Times: 11:00 – 13:00 & 14:00 – 16:00, sign up on the day.
Your party has crashed in the jungle. Working together, you must choose which equipment to take with you to escape the jungle. Will you do better as a group or on your own?

Take a picture of the trail quiz questions using your phone then find the answers as you explore the museum. When you’re finished, you can check your answers at the Boeing 707 in the Concorde Hangar.
