Collection

|
Opened in December 2003, the Udvar-Hazy Center displays historic aviation and space artifacts, particularly items too large for the National Air and Space Museum's building on the National Mall, including:
the only surviving Dornier Do 335 Arrow
the only surviving Heinkel He 219 Owl
the only surviving Arado Ar 234 "Blitz"
one of two surviving Boeing P-26 Peashooters
a Bede BD-5, a single-seat, homebuilt aircraft that was somewhat popular in the 1970s
The museum is in the process of installing exhibits, but more than 120 aircraft and 140 space-exploration exhibits are already on display as of 2006, and plans call for eventually installing over 200 aircraft. It also contains an IMAX theater.
