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.

In the briefing room, you'll see and hear why jet engine aircraft were needed in the 1940s. Then you enter a test cabin where you are explained how a jet engine works. Next you enter the hall with the very first Dutch jet fighter, a Gloster Meteor. Finally there is the 760 m2 exhibition hall, where you can admire 3 more historic aircraft: the Fokker S.14 Machtrainer, the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter and the Hawker Hunter. And outside are 2 more historic jet fighters from the Cold War, a Mikoyan-Goerevich MiG-21 and a Saab 37 Viggen.
