Museu do Ar

The Museu do Ar displays a collection of 600 scale model airplanes, authentic aircraft, engines, flight equipment, photographs, and navigation instruments spanning multiple decades.

In 1922, the museum preserves the memory of pilots Sacadura Cabral and Gago Coutinho who completed the first South Atlantic crossing from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro.

The museum represents Portuguese aviation development through exhibits of national aircraft, military uniforms, technical documentation, and achievement records from various periods.

Located at Granja do Marques in Sintra, the museum operates from Monday through Friday between 10:00-12:00 and 14:00-16:30, with extended weekend hours until 18:00.

Visitors can examine the Santos Dumont Demoiselle 1908 replica and the first Portuguese Air Force aircraft that reached the speed of sound in horizontal flight.
