Naval Aircraft Museum

The Naval Aircraft Museum is a military aviation and naval museum in Kolkata that displays real aircraft, helicopters, and naval vessels used by Indian armed forces. The collection shows how naval aviation equipment changed over time through actual preserved machines that visitors can see and learn from.

The museum was established to document the history of Indian naval aviation from its early days to modern times. The vessels and aircraft on display represent different periods of India's military development and operational needs.

Students and military personnel regularly visit the museum to learn about naval aviation through educational programs focused on technical and historical aspects.

The museum is located in New Town and is easy to walk through, with space to view all the displayed vehicles clearly. Information panels in multiple languages help visitors understand the exhibits without needing additional assistance.

Many visitors overlook that some aircraft and vessels can actually be entered, offering a rare chance to experience the tight spaces where pilots and crews worked. This hands-on access lets people understand the cramped conditions and technical setup inside these machines in a way that photographs cannot convey.
