Aircraft Research Association

ARA

Jenny - Bedford

I did not know much about ARA before my Work Experience but now it has increased my knowledge regarding aerospace.

I enjoyed the time spent in all the departments and I found them all interesting, especially the Experimental Aerodynamics department.

The four days gave me a full insight into working life at ARA and I would like to undertake more work experience at ARA next year if possible.

I would like to spend more time in Design and Manufacture department and work with the design programmes which I found very exciting and new to me.  I also enjoyed making my own design model.

All the staff were very pleasant and patient when explaining their jobs to me.  I really enjoyed my Work Experience at ARA and I might consider studying aerospace courses at university and perhaps one day work at ARA.
