Sharing the dream of rebuilding AN-225
Ukrainian technology company Awery Aviation Software has pledged its support for an initiative, launched yesterday, the nation's 31st Independence Day, aimed at the protection and development of the country's aviation industry, including the rebuilding of the Antonov "Mriya" (Dream) AN-225.
Ukrainian startup company Metal Time has developed a working mechanical design kit model of the iconic cargo plane, profits from the sale of which will be donated to Antonov for the rebuilding of the aircraft, the rehousing of Antonov employees whose homes were destroyed and the education and training of aviation engineers and pilots.
Awery CEO Vitaly Smillianets: "Awery cannot stand by when Ukrainian cargo aviation is destroyed economically and physically, and so it was an easy decision for us to help promote the initiative by communicating this great project as much as we can." (ah)
