Supporting Female Innovators in Aerospace & Beyond – Every Day of the Year!

Here at AX, we’re committed to championing female innovators and leaders in Aerospace and STEM - not just throughout Women’s Month, but every single day. To mark IWD25, we’ve put together an infographic showcasing our ongoing efforts to back female founders and the next generation of leaders.
