Emirates is opening an indoor aviation themed attraction in London next month.

It will be located in Greenwich on the south side of the Emirates Air Line and will cover an area of almost 300 square metres.

Tim Clark, president of Emirates Airline, said: "This high-tech facility will bring to London a one of a kind insight into the dynamic world of aviation.

"The purpose of this centre is to provide a fun, yet educational, overview of just what it takes to successfully get a 560 tonne aircraft off the ground and 40,000 feet into the sky.

"Our aim is to explain the intricate science of modern aviation, in a hands-on, entertaining and instructive environment."

Utilising state-of-the-art technology, interactive displays and life-size aircraft models, the immersive experience will include "several zones that will take visitors on an interactive aviation journey".

The attraction will also feature the world's first public facing commercial flight simulators including two Airbus 380s and two Boeing 777s, with full landscape visuals and allowing participants to practice their take-off and landing skills.
