Museum of History of Civil Aviation - Hundreds of Aircrafts over a Hundred Years of Flight
The Museum of History of Civil Aviation in Ulyanovsk is considered the largest aircraft museum in Russia. It stores several thousand exhibits! Moreover, most of the aircrafts and helicopters arrived here on their own. Both civilian and military aircrafts, as well as their models are exhibited here, covering the period from the Civil War of the early 20th century to the present time, from a small biplane Po-2 to a powerful military transport helicopter Mi-6.
The exposition of the Museum of History of Civil Aviation includes truly unique models, like one of the two supersonic airplanes Tu-144, which was engaged in passenger transportation and even participated in the Paris Air Show at Le Bourget in 1977. A total of 16 such aircrafts were produced, two of which were involved in civil aviation, and a model from the Ulyanovsk museum is the best preserved from all Tu-144 airliners. Another famous aircraft is the Tu-114, which in the 1960s was considered the world's largest and fastest turboprop passenger aircraft. Tu-116 is a model based on the Tu-95 bomber, produced for the Secretary General Nikita Khrushchev. Some exhibits, like Tu-124, can be viewed also from the inside.
