London, United Kingdom — A trip to London need not be filled with the usual Royal tours, high tea and Big Ben. Thanks to Emirates, visitors to Emirates Air Line, the recently opened cable car from the Greenwich Peninsula to the Royal Docks, will now be able to learn how modern aviation brought them to the foreign city. Remember when the airline renamed two stations? Just yesterday, the airline opened their Emirates Aviation Experience on the south end of the cable line. The 300-square meter facility will host interactive exhibits teaching visitors how awesome aviation is; it’s so hands-on that within the experience are four flight simulators so you may try your own hand at flying a Airbus A380 or a Boeing 777.
For those big kids who want to see how planes fly, there is a virtual wind tunnel application, a LEGO replica of a Rolls-Royce Trent 800 engine, and a mock-up of an A380 Economy Class seating area with a range of aviation-themed videos utilizing Emirates’ entertainment system.
