Welcoming astronaut heroes Claude Nicollier and Thomas Reiter

December 1, 2023

It's not every day that we get to host figures like Claude Nicollier, Switzerland's first astronaut, and Thomas Reiter, a German space pioneer. Their visit to our headquarters this Tuesday was thrilling for our team, bringing together the worlds of aeronautics and astronautics.

Claude and Thomas toured our facility and received an in-depth presentation of our Aero2 and Aero3 aircraft. Their curiosity was infectious as they dived into the technicalities of our designs with detailed questions. It's clear they share our passion for pushing the boundaries of flight.

But the real fun began when they tried out the Aero2 simulator. Watching these experienced astronauts and pilots smoothly handle our tilt-wing technology was inspiring. They brought a touch of space expertise to our flight simulator, and their enthusiasm reminded us why we love aviation so much.

A heartfelt thank you to Claude Nicollier and Thomas Reiter for their visit. It was a chance for our team to connect with these pioneers and to introduce them to our innovations in aviation. We're very grateful for their questions and insights, which inspire us to continue our dedication to accelerating sustainable aviation.

We're excited to share this journey with you! Sign up to our newsletter, and follow us on LinkedIn, Instagram or YouTube to stay in the loop.
