NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Langley attends several air shows throughout the year. The EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, is the largest. NASA features varying exhibits that reflect the growth of the Agency's general aviation and aeronautics contributions.

Typically about 2,800 show aircraft participate at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, including homebuilts, antiques, classics, warbirds, ultralights and rotorcraft. The main display ramp offers various aircrafts - anything from the Spirit of St. Louis to a Stealth fighter to the Concorde as well as state-of-the-art examples of today’s top military hardware.

Opportunities for kids of all ages to participate in hands-on, educational-and fun-aviation-based demonstrations and presentations. Kids can have the fun of building gliders and rockets, fly simulators, see aviation legends tell their stories, or ride in a tethered hot-air balloon.

NASA staffers, researchers, and astronauts present technology at the over 500 forums conducted through the week. Exhibits include instruments, avionics, insurance, aircraft parts, aviation safety and security, future of flight, history, etc.
