Since the early days of Cessna and Beechcraft, women have been influential leaders of the aviation industry. Carrying on our founders’ legacy, Textron Aviation continues to work and inspire women to soar in their careers, aspirations, and aircraft.
Women’s History Month is about celebrating the contributions and achievements of women in America. For Textron Aviation, it is especially important to recognize the outstanding women in aviation.
