There are dozens of aircrafts here, everything from the Wright Brothers' 'Flyer' and Charles Lindbergh's 'Spirit of St. Louis' to World War II planes and Apollo 11. In the Lockheed Martin IMAX Theater at National Air and Space Museum you can view one of the ever-changing films on the five-story screen. After the film, you can touch a moon rock or visit the original Star Trek model of the 'Enterprise'. Educational exhibits introduce the ideas of aerodynamics to children and track the influence of flight technology on our culture.
