Meet Jessica Cox: The World’s First and Only Armless Pilot

What if you could fly an airplane using only your feet? Jessica Cox did just that—making history as the world’s first and only armless pilot!

Born without arms, Jessica refused to let that stop her from achieving her dreams. From earning a black belt in Taekwondo to driving a car, playing the piano, and even flying a plane, Jessica has never let “impossible” stand in her way.

She’s on a mission to inspire the next generation of fearless young women in aviation and STEM! Jessica will share her incredible journey during Aviation Day at WAI2025 and prove that limits are meant to be broken. Through her powerful message of courage, adaptability, and “thinking outside the shoe,” she’ll challenge girls to dream big, take on challenges, and believe that they, too, can soar.

Don’t miss this unforgettable opportunity to meet Jessica, ask questions, and be inspired to take flight—in aviation and in life!
