Taking a break from my preparation work for next week’s big exam, I’d like to share with you something that I’m really excited about: the partnership between my mission to ISS, Futura, and WeFly! Team.
WeFly! is a very special aerobatic team, flying on ultralight machines: two out of the three pilots have a disability, which requires them to use a wheelchair during daily life and, in the cockpit, to use specially modified commands that allow full control of the aircraft by use of hands only.
I had the privilege of meeting Alessandro, Marco and Erich about 7 years ago. In this short video I tell that story:
