Airship

 Here we have another helicopter, the Piasecki HUP, which saw military and civilian use.

I moved off, photographing back towards the fighters and the museum's far corner.

And then towards the early passenger planes.

I was heading to the section focusing on space. En route, I stopped at this display case with a model of an airship. At one point it was thought these would be what would replace trans-oceanic passenger ships. Airplanes developing greater range and being able to carry more passengers put an end to that.

It was a Canadian company that developed the landing gear for the lunar module for the Apollo 11 mission.

And Canadians designed and built the first Canadian satellite put into orbit- the Alouette.
