Bell Mexico’s General Manager, Luis M. Azúa, represented the company at this year’s Altitude Congress hosted in the heart of the greater Monterrey aerospace community. Altitude Congress is an aerospace and advanced manufacturing congress that serves as a catalyst for elevating the aerospace industry in México to new heights. The event drew the participation of numerous leading aerospace companies, all driven by the shared goal of igniting a passion for aerospace among students. Altitude Congress was hosted by Monterrey Aerocluster, Technológico de Monterrey Escuela de Ingeniería y Ciencias, and SAERO.

Students from Escuela Industrial y Preparatoria Técnica Álvaro Obregón, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, and Tecnológico de Monterrey were in attendance, as well as representatives from the Monterrey Aerocluster, Aerospace Cluster of Queretaro, and Aerospace Cluster of Chihuahua.

The presentation highlighted Bell’s history in addition to both Bell’s commercial and military products, with a particular highlight on the V-280.
