Have you ever had a dream that you were flying? What does it take to break the bonds of Earth and soar like a bird?
Explore humankind’s quest for flight including the ancient myths of Aladdin on his flying carpet, the vimanas—mechanical winged flying machines—of ancient Sanskrit writings, the kites of ancient China, Leonardo Da Vinci's scientific study of wings and drawings of flying machines, and the pioneers of actual flight: France’s Montgolfier brothers, England’s George Cayley, Germany’s Otto Lilienthal, and the United States' Wright brothers.
Learn how history also shaped the early days of powered aviation with the advent of World Wars. This poetic and visually stunning show takes you on a journey from the time when humans could only dream of flying to our modern day world where all one needs to fly is a ticket.
