Jet Engine
"Faster Than Sound" is on display in a new, large hangar reminiscent of a Cold War hangar - or shelter. The exhibit shows you when the jet engine was developed. In the interactive test cabin, you'll discover how its technology works. You will see 6 jet fighters up close, including 4 historic aircraft that have been completely restored especially for this purpose.
