Kerry goalkeeper Fitzgerald, an aeronautical engineer studying a PhD in aircraft stability at UL, has a fear of flying

Laura Fitzgerald is an Aeronautical Engineer doing a PhD in Aircraft Stability at University of Limerick.

Laura Fitzgerald is fascinated by airplanes. She loves the maths, engineering, and technology involved in getting an Airbus A380 to 38,000ft for up to 14 hours.

She’d love to sit in the cockpit and drive an airplane around a runway but she’s not so sure about flying it.
