It's the 100-year anniversary of the Wright brothers' first successful flight, a perfect occasion to help us reinterpret the fascinating story of aviation.

For 2004, Battleship Cove has planned a number of exciting new projects related to flight, such as:

  • A special exhibit featuring working vintage WWII aircraft engines on loan from Pratt & Whitney
  • Repainting the Bell "Huey" helicopter
  • Repainting the T-28 Trojan
  • Continued refurbishment of the drone antisubmarine helicopter exhibit on board USS Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr.

Let your imagination soar with this aviation workshop.

PHYSICS OF FLIGHT: Celebrate a century of flight as you examine a carrier plane, two helicopter gunships, and more than 300 model aircraft. Construct take-home flying machines as you study the evolution of aviation and thrust technology through activities that decipher scientific laws like Bernoulli’s Principle and Newton’s Laws of Motion.
