"Above and Beyond" explores the advances in aviation and aerospace and the technologies that result when flight and innovation unite. Inside the exhibit, guests will be welcomed by a wraparound theater that highlights the epic quest to challenge the limits of flight. Stories from past and present aerospace pioneers set the stage for the exhibition’s hands-on, interactive experiences.

A space elevator simulation will take guests to the edge of the universe. They can design and test a supersonic fighter jet to face off in a virtual high-speed flying competition. A flying simulation with motion-sensing technology gives a sense of what it’s like to fly like a bird, all while exploring the forces of flight.
