THE
TEAM
WHAT WE DO
WHAT WE DO
​
The team is divided into different sectors, which are initially distinguished between Technical Departments responsible for aircraft design in all aspects, and the Public Relations Department, which handles resource management and the search for new collaborators.
The team's tasks are organized by the team leader in collaboration with the heads of various sectors and are structured through different project milestones.
The work is fully documented in our reports, from which reports have been extracted for registration to participate in some aerospace industry conferences, including ICAS 2024.
MANAGERS
Managers take care of organizing the activities of their respective departments and ensure efficient communication within the team. The team leader has the task of planning the entire group's activity, ensuring that planning deadlines are respected.
