Aichi Museum of Flight

The Aichi Museum of Flight is an aviation museum at Nagoya Airport displaying aircraft, helicopters, and scale models across multiple exhibition halls. The collection documents the development of Japanese aviation technology through carefully arranged displays and hands-on learning spaces.

The museum opened in 2017 on the grounds where Nagoya Airport's aviation center had operated until the Chubu International Airport began serving the region in 2004. The facility was reimagined to preserve aviation history after the city's main airport operations relocated.

The museum reflects Japan's aviation engineering achievements through its collection of locally-built aircraft and helicopters on display. Walking through the halls, you notice how the exhibits celebrate the skill and innovation that Japanese manufacturers brought to flight technology.

The museum offers flight simulators, science labs, and observation decks that keep visitors engaged throughout the visit. Plan to spend several hours exploring the interactive stations and exhibits at your own pace.

The museum houses the MH2000, the first helicopter entirely designed and built by Japanese engineers. This achievement marks a turning point in the nation's aviation independence and technical capability.
