On display at the National Air and Space Museum. The Albatros series suffered from wing failures in prolonged dives. However, it remained a frontline fighter and produced a number of German aces, including Manfred von Richthofen, who scored three-quarters of his 80 victories with the Albatros. This is a late war build that served with Jasta 46 that was formed at Graudenz. It was damaged in combat and was not repaired, eventually finding its way to the USA and was acquired by the Smithsonian.

Seen displayed in the Smithsonian Museum, this aircraft carries the livery of WWI flying Ace Eddie Rickenbacker. It is shown inverted over a diorama of a WWI airfield, and is believed to be S248 of 1916 which later became NX18968 and N4727V. It was loaned by Tallmantz Aviation to NASM.

A gem that belonged to famed aviatrix Amelia Earhart, this Vega is on display in the Barron Hilton Pioneers of Flight Gallery exhibition at the National Air and Space Museum. Calling it her "Little Red Bus", Earhart flew this aircraft non-stop across the Atlantic solo in 1932, becoming the first female pilot and second after Charles Lindbergh to accomplish the feat. In the same year, she set another record in this Vega by flying non-stop alone across the USA.

"Lulu-Belle" on display in the Jet Aviation exhibition at the National Air and Space Museum. Designed by the famous Clarence L. "Kelly" Johnson, this aircraft was produced in only 143 days during World War II in Lockheed's 'Skunk Works', flying on Jan. 8, 1944. Also called the "Green Hornet", it was the first USAAF jet to exceed 500 mph in level flight. The design led to the P-80 Shooting Star.

"Lulu-Belle" on display in the Jet Aviation exhibition at the National Air and Space Museum. Designed by the famous Clarence L. "Kelly" Johnson, this aircraft was produced in only 143 days during World War II in Lockheed's 'Skunk Works', flying on Jan. 8, 1944. Also called the "Green Hornet", it was the first USAAF jet to exceed 500 mph in level flight. The design led to the P-80 Shooting Star.

On display at the National Air and Space Museum. The 'Chicago' was one of two U.S. Army Air Service airplanes to complete the first round-the-world flight in 1924. Starting from Seattle, the westwards flight took 175 days to accomplish. 'Chicago' was flown by Lt. Lowell Smith and Lt. Leslie Arnold. The 'New Orleans' was the other World Cruiser to finish the historic flight, as 'Seattle' and 'Boston' were damaged en route.

On display in the Time and Navigation exhibition at the National Air and Space Museum. This specially modified 5C Vega set the record in 1931 for a flight around the world, taking 8 days in the hands of Wiley H. Post and Harold Gatty. Post repeated the feat solo, taking only 7 days in July 1933. In March 1935, Post flew this Vega high enough from Burbank to Cleveland to be operating in the jetstream. The Smithsonian acquired 'Winnie Mae' shortly after Post's death in a flying accident in August 1935.

While Boeing manufactured the Thomas-Morse MB-3 for the Air Force, the PW-9 was the first fighter designed and built by Boeing. The FB was the Navy / Marine version and 27 FB-2s were the first Navy aircraft built specifically for carrier operations.

First flying in 1929 this unassuming monoplane changed the face of aviation by opening the market of private aircraft ownership. This example was acquired by the Smithsonian in 1946. Restored in 1976 it was only briefly displayed here but it was later moved to the Udvar Hazy Centre.

The Northrop M2-F3 was a heavyweight lifting body rebuilt from the Northrop M2-F2 after it crashed at the Dryden Flight Research Center in 1967. It was modified with an additional third vertical fin - centered between the tip fins - to improve control characteristics. The "M" refers to "manned" and "F" refers to "flight" version.

SpaceShipOne is an experimental air-launched rocket-powered aircraft with sub-orbital spaceflight capability at speeds of up to 900 m/s (3,000 ft/s), using a hybrid rocket motor. The design features a unique "feathering" atmospheric reentry system where the rear half of the wing and the twin tail booms folds 70 degrees upward along a hinge running the length of the wing; increasing drag while remaining stable.
