This week marks the 6th annual Women of Aviation Worldwide Week which aims to foster gender balance in the air and space industry. Here at the IET Aerospace Network we are celebrating by taking a look at some of the inspiring women of the aerospace industry.
It is important to acknowledge women’s contribution to aerospace not only to be inclusive of their achievements, but to also inspire the next generation of female engineers. Every day this week, we will be posting a profile of remarkable women of aviation in our blog.
