Modern Aviation – Welcome on board!

Modern Aviation covers topics such as the science behind flight, the aircraft construction process, how planes are operated and, of course, safety in the air. The exhibition traces the history of aviation since 1945 across two levels and is dominated by a supersonic Starfighter, a Hansa jet, a Grob corporate jet and a Sikorsky helicopter. Large sections of aircraft cabins, cockpits and wings are also on display alongside much smaller exhibits, such as aircraft models. The basics of flying, aircraft construction and individual systems and engines are explored in detail. And visitors can also take a look behind the scenes of flight operations and see how air traffic controllers and pilots interact with each other and learn about different aspects of flight safety. Interactive media stations and hands-on exhibits bring this fascinating topic to life!
