Middle East Technical University (METU) was excited to host the 16th Aviation Days, a yearly event organised by the METU Aerospace Society (ODTÜ HUT) that brings together aviation enthusiasts, professionals, and students to explore the limitless opportunities within the aviation and aerospace industries. It is one of the most eagerly awaited gatherings for anyone passionate about flight and innovation.
This year’s event presented educative and eye-opening speeches from experts. Participants had the chance to learn about groundbreaking advancements in aviation technology, the life experiences of aerospace engineers, Turkey’s achievements in aviation, space exploration and the role of private and governmental organisations in advancing space technologies were some of the main points of the day.
One of the most exciting aspects of Aviation Days is the opportunity to engage directly with industry leaders. Representatives from foremost aviation companies and research institutions shared their insights, discussed career opportunities, and guided young enthusiasts toward a future in aerospace. It was a great opportunity for students to connect with mentors, discover internship opportunities, and network with professionals in a collaborative environment.
Aviation Days is more than an event that brings together aviation enthusiasts; it also helps them decide their career paths. Whether you are an aspiring engineer, a well-experienced professional, or simply curious about the field, this event offers a unique chance to inspire, educate, and connect. It is possible to say that we are already looking forward to the 17th edition.
