The CL-215 was the first plane ever designed solely for firefighting. In total Canadair produced 125 sold to seven different countries. The Sécurité civile used the CL-215 since 1969, with the last flight of taking place in October, 1996 being superceded by to the more powerful CL-415. This example arrived at the museum for display in April 2009.

In the 1950s, the engineer Igor Bensen developed the Gyro-copter with a rear engine and propeller. The Gary RG.01 is a subsequent modified version in terms of controls, aerodynamic surfaces and fairing. This is the only example built.

The Super Sabre D proved very popular with AdlA pilots. The type served with the French from 1958, for low-altitude nuclear response, until finally retired in Djibouti in 1979.

This R-Class Zeppelin made its first flight on 22nd February 1917 and made 15 reconnaissance missions around the Eastern Front and the Baltic Sea and (or including?) 3 attacks that dropped a total of 6,000 kilograms (13,000 lb) of bombs. In 1920 it was ordered to be transferred to France as part of war reparations and used there for testing and evaluation. Only the rear engine gondola survives and is on display at this super museum.

This three-engined heavy transport helicopter held the distinction of being the most powerful helicopter to be built in Europe as well as being the world's fastest. The Super Frelon (Super Hornet) was a more powerful development of the original SE.3200 Frelon, which had failed to enter production. In December 1962, this Super Frelon prototype made the type's maiden flight and around 110 of both civilian and military versions were produced. The type was in service in France with the Aéronavale until April 2010.

The Nord 1500 Griffon was an experimental ramjet-powered interceptor aircraft. The first plane 1500-01, with only the SNECMA Atar 101F afterburning turbojet, made its first flight in September, 1955 and quickly reached Mach 1.3. This 1500-02, fitted with the definitive turbo-ramjet powerplant, took off for the first time in January, 1957 and in August, 1958 became the first French aircraft to reach Mach 2. Subsequently, the "Griffon II" broke the international speed record over 100 kilometers on a closed circuit with 1,643 km/h and later achieved a speed of 2,330 km/h (Mach 2.19).

The DFS (Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug - German Research Institute for Gliding) Habicht (Hawk) was designed in 1936 by Hans Jacobs. Four Habichts enthralled spectators at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games by performing over and inside the Olympic stadium. It seems only two original Habichts survived WWII. This example was flown by famous French aerobatic pilot Marcel Doret, who won the aerobatic world cup for gliders with it in 1939. The other Habicht, registration D-8002, flew in Southern Germany until it was destroyed by the collapse of the hangar in which it was stored.

The Mystère 20 prototype on display in front of some more modern biz-jets, for which this plane blazed the way. The coloured sash on the nose signifies that this plane, with Jacqueline Auriol at the controls, set a female world speed record on June 10, 1965 with an average speed of 859 km/h over 1000 km.

The SNCASO Trident was a French mixed-propulsion interceptor built during the 1950s. It was powered by a single SEPR rocket engine, which was augmented by wingtip-mounted turbojet engines. This is the first of two prototype Trident I's built. Three prototypes and six pre-production Trident II were ordered and an fourth incomplete, pre-production Trident III was also produced. Only six of these nine Trident IIs were ultimately completed, of which all three prototypes were damaged or destroyed in accidents before the programme was cancelled in 1958 despite their record-setting performance.

This first Concorde prtotype was built by Aérospatiale at Toulouse and made the inaugural test flight from Toulouse on 2nd March 1969. It first went supersonic on 1st October of that year and went on to fly with Aérospatiale until October 1973 when it was retired to this super museum for display. The small sticker between the forward door and windshield signifes that this plane was modified with rooftop portholes for use on the 1973 Solar Eclipse mission and equipped with observation instruments. It performed the longest observation of a solar eclipse to date, about 74 minutes.

René Hirsch had been working on aerodynamic methods to stabilize an aircraft meeting a gust since 1936 and had set up a company to this end, Moyens aérodynamiques de regulation et de contrôle (MAéRC). Incorporating the results of his research, the H.100 made its first flight in June 1954. Scant details about the stabilization system are known but test flights reportedly showed satisfactory results but with investment lacking, nothing further resulted. The H.100 made its last flight in June 1971 having flown for a total of 130 hours and was MAéRC's only aircraft.

This Rapide was built in 1945 and TOC by the RAF as HG721. In December 1948 it was placed on the civilain register as G-ALGB. Around December 1954 it was exported to France and registered F-BHCD and used by the Etat Service de L Aviation Legere et Sportive as a parachute jump ship based at Chalon-Champforgeuil. Alas, all good things come to an end and the plane was deregistered in March 1971 and became part of this super museum in June 1989.

The Breguet G.11E was developed in secret during the German occupation of France but it turned out to be underpowed. It was re-designed and equipped with more a powerful engine and an elongated coaxial three-bladed rotor s,ystem and became the G 111. Unfortunately an accident in 1953 precipitated the end of the program and the prototype is on display in Le hall des hélicoptère.

Farman tried to capitalise on the interest in light aviation that arose after the end of WWI. The company launched two models in 1936 each weighing barely 400 kg: the single-seater 451 and the two-seater 455. The 451 entered production but the only one prototype 455 was built and it is on display in the Inter-war Years Hall.

The Payen 49 was the first French delta wing aircraft and made its first flight on January 22, 1954. The 300 subsequent research flights of the aircraft were used to check the performance of the delta wing and the "crocodile" rudder, which served both for steering and as an airbrake. The data generated by these research flights was studied for the Concorde prototype development and also Rockwell International for the Space Shuttle.
