At the age of seventeen, Tessa Furnell is breaking barriers and paving her own path towards becoming Britain's first woman aero-engine designer. With determination in her eyes, Tessa boldly entered a Watford-based aero-engine factory before even completing school, surprising the managing director with her ambition to work as an engineer. Undeterred by being the only girl among 130 male workers at the factory, Tessa has already made remarkable progress in her five-year training program. Her dedication and skill have astounded seasoned aero engineers who recognize her immense talent. Tessa's journey towards achieving her dreams comes at a personal cost. She has willingly put aside thoughts of romance and marriage to focus solely on building her career for at least another eight years. This young policewoman's daughter is determined to become more than just another statistic; she aims to shatter stereotypes and inspire future generations of women in aviation.
