Hiking

An absolute must for all aerospace enthusiasts! From Wright's Flyer to the rockets, Apollo lander to experimental aircraft, everything is there. And like most museums in Washington, it's free.
At the airport there is a second exposition of the museum with countless interesting exhibits, only getting there is quite complicated.

Hiking

Of course, the Wright brothers put a lot of effort into realizing this flight, but the history of the lateral control, which was the main problem at the time, is also interesting. Wrights solved this by twisting the wings and frantically tried to protect this invention, which eventually led to the development of the much simpler construction of the aileron. o a disability can become the engine of progress.
