Above and Beyond

Get ready to explore the future of aerospace technology and air travel in Above and Beyond, presented by Parker Aerospace!

Above and Beyond features 5,000 square feet of unprecedented interactive demonstrations of the advances in aviation and aerospace from the first powered flights to the newest innovations.

Within the exhibition, guests will be able to step into a simulated space elevator that takes them to the edge of the universe, design and test a supersonic jet to face off in a virtual high speed flying competition, experience a flight simulation with motion-sensing technology to get a sense of what it’s like to fly like a bird, and discover concepts for future aircraft.

Above and Beyond runs through Sunday, January 2. Above and Beyond is included with general admission to the Science Center.

Above and Beyond is presented by Boeing and produced by Evergreen Exhibitions in collaboration with NASA and the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum.
