Description


Occupying over 150,000 square metres (1,600,000 sq ft) of land and hangars, it is one of the oldest aviation museums in the world. The museum's collection contains more than 19,595 items, including 150 aircraft, and material from as far back as the 16th Century. Also displayed are more modern air and spacecraft, including the prototype for Concorde, and Swiss and Soviet rockets. The museum also has the only known remaining piece — the jettisoned main landing gear — of the L'Oiseau Blanc (The White Bird), the 1927 aircraft which attempted to make the first Transatlantic crossing from Paris to New York. On May 8, 1927, Charles Nungesser and François Coli aboard L'Oiseau blanc, a 450-hp Lorraine-powered Levasseur biplane [2] took off from Le Bourget. The aircraft jettisoned its main landing gear (which is stored at the museum), which it was designed to do as part of its trans-Atlantic flight profile, but then disappeared over the Atlantic, only two weeks before Lindbergh's monoplane completed its successful non-stop trans-Atlantic flight to Le Bourget from the United States.


Other items of interest range include:



  • gilded bronze medallion of the Montgolfier brothers, created in 1783 by Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741–1828)

  • the Biot-Massia glider (1879)

  • an 1884 electric motor by Arthur Constantin Krebs (1850–1935)

  • the rear gondola of the 1915 Zeppelin LZ 113, equipped with 3 Maybach type HS engines

  • a 1916 SPAD VII aircraft by Blériot-SPAD and flown by French flying ace Georges Guynemer in World War I

  • a 1917 Airco DH.9 aircraft by Geoffrey de Havilland (1882–1965)

  • a 1918 Junkers D.I aircraft by Hugo Junkers (1859–1935)

  • a 1961 Dassault Mirage IIIC by Marcel Dassault (1892–1986)

  • an SSBS S3 surface-to-surface ballistic missile commissioned in 1981
