A380_introduction

As the Airbus A380 is a collaborative European project, we have decided to explore this subject with our students.

You will find in this blog some presentations on plane manufacture and European Airbus plants.

We will also present some international activities on aeronautics and planes that took place during partners’ meeting in Turin (Italy).

The first students’ task was to fill in a vocabulary chart. Through this work students discovered some vocabulary linked to planes in their mother language, in English and in partners’ languages.

Airbus in France

Publié le 03/15/2014 par Barbara Ponizy

At first, french students tried to answer the following questions:

Why does the World need the Airbus A380? and

What features make the A380 to be a good seller?

In the next part LP2I students present their work on the main A380 factories in France. The blue parts of the plane in the picture are manufactured in France. The numbers indicate the site where parts are made.
