Flight Works Alabama inspires learners of all ages through real-world, hands-on STEAM learning experiences — connecting the community to aerospace, building in-demand skills and growing our region’s manufacturing workforce.
The Airbus Foundation Discovery Space is a 15,000-square-foot facility with more than 40 hands-on exhibits that bring the aerospace industry to life. Visitors can fly a cockpit simulator, navigate drones, design aircraft liveries, examine real jet engine components and landing gear, practice riveting and explore how the global supply chain works.
The exhibits are designed for all ages — children deciding what they want to be when they grow up and long-time aviation enthusiasts alike.
Flight Works Alabama is also the only place in the United States where the public can take a guided tour of an Airbus Final Assembly Line. Tours take visitors to a fourth-floor viewing area overlooking the A320 production floor, where they can watch Team Mobile assemble aircraft and see how it all comes together right before their eyes.
