About Aerospace Bristol
Get ready for a supersonic day out with the kids at Aerospace Bristol - over 100 years of aviation history and lots of interactive displays for all ages await! Delve into the fascinating past of Bristol’s aviation achievements and step aboard Concorde Alpha Foxtrot, the last to fly.
At Aerospace Bristol, you’ll find yourself surrounded by aeroplanes, helicopters, missiles and more amazing exhibits, from the earliest days of powered flight, all the way through to today’s cutting-edge aerospace technology. Plus, the museum has plenty of fun for young explorers, including a family-friendly adventure trail and hands-on games.
You’ll also find a brilliant aerospace themed outdoor play area where budding pilots can let their imagination run free.
Step aboard the last Concorde ever to fly
The stunning centrepiece of your visit will be Concorde Alpha Foxtrot: the last of the iconic supersonic passenger jets to be built and the last to fly.
Enjoy a spectacular projection show of three short films displayed onto the side of the aircraft telling its remarkable history before you step aboard. Explore the exhibition gallery showcasing a fascinating collection of memorabilia including a pilot’s uniform, model and a flight deck.
Capable of crossing the Atlantic in under three hours, Concorde cruised at over twice the speed of sound and reached an altitude of 60,000ft. Her passengers would marvel at the curvature of the Earth and look up at a blue-black sky, as they travelled at 1320mph and sipped Champagne on the edge of space.
Over a century of Bristol's aerospace history
Starting in the early 1900s, your journey will take you through two world wars. Explore the vital role of aircraft in these global conflicts, through the drama and technological advances of the space race and on to the modern day, and discover the latest technologies of today’s aerospace industry.
Find out how a small, pioneering company manufactured some of the earliest aeroplanes at Filton, evolved over the decades to influence the course of aviation history and shaped the world we see today.
With hundreds of exhibits from small model aircrafts to helicopters, rockets and missiles, explore the galleries and discover more about the local history.
