On the Bourget aerodrome, far from the crowd of Parisian museums, that of air and space deserves to spend almost a day, for lovers of aircraft of all kinds, rockets, objects Unusual, airship, technological prowess. In the inter-war space, the new exhibition “Flight” dissects theft and popularizes how birds inspired men. In front of us, models of Boeing, Falcon, Solar Impulse, Airbus, Rafale, helicopter or even biometric drone show the panel of machines defying weightlessness. Faced with human conceptions, false birds as stuffed, from the nozzle to the Grand Duke of Europe.
“Flight” traces a parallel between technical developments and the natural assets of birds. The variable nozzle, mistress of the energy economy, the Sansonnet star, which we see in the thousands, in immense wavy clouds above the trees of our cities. Videos show some flights.
