One of the must-see attractions of the Expo 2020 is the aviation attraction by Emirates. As the Expo is gearing up to open its doors to the public on October 1, the Emirates Pavilion is set to offer a preview for the future of commercial aviation.

The aviation company is reframing the role that science and technology will play in the next 50 years of air travel, as it welcomes visitors to experience two floors of interactive multi-sensory installations.

Visitors to Expo 2020 Dubai can now plan their visit to the Emirates Pavilion and book their preferred date and time slots in advance.

Construction on the Emirates Pavilion began in March 2019 and was completed in June this year. During the design and construction phases of the pavilion, Emirates followed a number of sustainability principles, using non-hazardous, regional, reusable, and recyclable materials in its overall structure, and incorporated different design solutions to reduce energy and water consumption.

With 24 aluminium-cladded fins that curve around two sides of the building structure, the Emirates Pavilion’s towering four-storey design and façade are modelled around an aircraft’s wings taking flight.

The visitors at the pavilion can experience various aspects of the future of aviation like the science of flight where educational visualisations using holographic models will be demonstrated as to how aircraft achieve flight by illustrating the physical properties of lift, thrust, gravity and drag.

Collecting the ‘seed’ enables a truly nuanced journey through the pavilion, capturing the visitor’s interactions, knowledge, and experiences, which will then be played back in the multi-sensory finale.

At the Future Lab, visitors will step into the laboratory of the future to run experiments carried out by robotic arms, which demonstrate the technologies that will make the aircraft of the future faster, lighter, and stronger.

Another interesting display is the Cleaner Skies installation which is an immersive experience that demonstrates how future innovations are directly linked to some of the world’s biggest challenges—sustainability, population growth and technological advancements.

At the Experience your tomorrow, visitors will be able to fully immerse themselves by donning interactive Virtual Reality headsets that allow them to explore aircraft interior cabins of the future. They will be able to navigate a virtual fuselage’s interactive windows, go windowless, and even see different types of cabins and seating configurations.

Other attractive installations at the pavilion are Thrust and propulsion, design your perfect aircraft, Airport of the future, and seeding the future.
