Early Flight
Experience the early history of the airplane--from some of the earliest notions of flying, through the first decade of powered flight. This gallery evokes the mood and excitement of a time when wings were new by depicting a 1913 aeronautical trade show. The labels are written as if it were 1913, to give the visitor a sense of how the achievements of the Wright brothers and other innovators were first introduced to the public.

DO: You and your children can make paper airplanes to have fun and experiment with.
• For each plane you will need an A4 sheet of paper.
• Fold the paper in half lengthwise.
• Fold down the top two corners to meet at the centre fold.
• Fold down the sides again, meeting at the centre fold.
• Fold the sides in one more time.
• Fold the plane in half, open, and hold the bottom edge to fly.

Take your planes outdoors and try flying them. Try adding paperclips to the planes at the ends of wings, the tail, and the nose. Does it change how the plane flies? Encourage your children to experiment with different folds and using the paperclips in various positions. Most importantly, have fun!
