点评:We visited aeroscopia (excellent) and booked the AIRBUS A321 tour as the A350 tour was not available during our time in Toulouse. Reading the description I knew the 321 tour might be slightly less in depth in terms of distance and subject covered. The guide was nice and gave plenty of info in good English, but the A321 tour basically consists of a short bus ride to the 321 final assembly hangar. There was quite a lot of introduction talk in the foyer before we went in the lift to the first floor. There, you are in a sealed gallery above the 321 production line to overlook very little activity as so much of the manufacturing process is complete by this stage. That takes about 15 minutes to overlook the line then you go out on a balcony to see the outdoor testing area. It basically looks like a terminal with a few rows of completed aircraft. Nothing spectacular especially as the 321 is so ubiquitous.
If anyone has done the Boeing factory tour at Seattle this is not a patch on that where you are on platforms inside the factory seeing everything going on.
Back downstairs and onto the bus then you get a look inside the A400M which is similar to a Hercules inside for those that are familiar with them.
I really wish we had been able to do the 350 tour as that is a longer bus ride to the other side of the airfield and visit to the final delivery centre etc.
I didn’t NOT enjoy the tour but I didn’t feel it added anything to the aeroscopia museum and I wouldn’t be in a rush to do it again. PS photos are NOT allowed anywhere in the Airbus complex and you will need to take a passport for ID check. The cash desk at the aeroscopia museum is where to check in and get visitor pass. They suggest arriving 30 mins before tour start.
翻译:我们参观了航空航天博物馆(非常棒),并预订了空客A321的参观行程,因为我们在图卢兹期间A350的参观行程没有空位。阅读行程介绍后,我知道A321的参观行程在距离和内容方面可能略逊一筹。导游很友善,英语也很好,讲解也很详细,但A321的参观行程基本上就是乘坐短途巴士前往A321总装机库。在进入电梯前往一楼之前,我们在大厅里听了不少介绍性的讲解。到了一楼,你会置身于A321生产线上方一个封闭的观景台,由于大部分生产流程在这个阶段已经完成,所以你几乎看不到什么动静。大约15分钟后,你会走到阳台上,看到室外测试区。那里看起来就像一个航站楼,停放着几排已经完成的飞机。没什么特别之处,尤其考虑到A321的普及程度。
如果您参观过西雅图的波音工厂,就会发现这个参观体验远不及那里,波音工厂里您可以在平台上观看所有生产过程。
参观结束后,我们会下楼回到巴士上,然后进入A400M的内部参观。对于熟悉A400M的人来说,它的内部结构与大力神运输机类似。
我真希望我们能参加A350的参观,因为那需要乘坐更长的巴士前往机场的另一侧,并参观最终交付中心等等。
我并不觉得这次参观很糟糕,但我觉得它并没有为航空博物馆增添任何亮点,所以我不会急着再去一次。PS:空客园区内禁止拍照,并且需要携带护照进行身份验证。您可以在航空博物馆的售票处办理登记手续并领取参观通行证。他们建议您在参观开始前30分钟到达。
