Aeronautics Production Course

The main focus of this course was to teach about sheet metal working specially riveting and drilling metallic parts used in the structure of an aircraft.

Furthermore, other skills were teached, such as painting, chemical treatment of metal surfaces, creation of composite material parts, CNC machining, technical drawing and others.

I participated in the restoration of the portuguese Air Force's plane Deperdussin Monoplane so that it could be exhibited at the Museum of Air.
