Milestones in Aviation Presentation Alpha: A First Look

Event Description

Join Curator of Astronomy, Seth Mayo, as he takes you on an inaugural tour of the Milestones in Aviation exhibit in the Ford Gallery. Learn how certain significant inventions and technologies propelled aviation into a new frontier through the fascinating objects on loan from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and other private collectors. You will get a chance to view the Eco Eagle, developed by ERAU, on display inside the gallery and learn how it became the world's first direct-drive, hybrid-gas/electric aircraft. Along the way, we will encounter jet and radial engines, propellers, vintage aircraft paintings, and the Heurobotics Unmanned Aerial Vehicle - all part of ERAU's vast collection of aeronautical artifacts.

Free for members or with paid museum admission.
