Beijing Air and Space Museum has currently four permanent exhibitions on display: Dream by the Sky, Silver Eagles Air Patrol, Shenzhou Qiantang and the Air-day Corridor. According to the museum, “the collection, protection and exhibition of aviation objects is one of the important symbols to measure the degree of development of aviation industry and the strength of cultural relics in a country.”

  • The Dream of the Sky exhibit is divided into four areas: aviation design, aircraft engines, avionics and aerospace. At the core of the exhibit is a 3D cinema that uses large screens to present aerospace images.
  • The Silver Eagle Air Patrol exhibit is split into two areas: Beihang Specialty Aircraft and Physical Aircraft Displays. The exhibit displays over 30 domestic and international aircraft. Some of these aircraft were designed and produced by the university itself.
  • The Shenzhou Qiantang exhibit is divided into five sections: Rockets and Missiles, Satellites and Detectors, Manned Space, The Aerospace Interactive Area and a Student Work Area. The exhibit shows the dreams of space exploration and how they became a reality. The exhibit is filled with rockets, missiles, space suits, satellites, spacecrafts, shuttles and other space related items from the past half century.
  • The Air-Day Corridor is divided into two sections: The History of Aviation Science and Technology and The History of Aviation Development.

All aircraft are now inside the building
