Spread Your Wings
Visitors transform their entire bodies into virtual birds, using motion-sensing technology to manipulate their avatars, moving individually and as a flock. Here they explore the forces of flight—lift, weight, thrust and drag—as they lean to steer, and flap and angle their wings.
Full Throttle
In the “Faster” gallery, visitors apply aerodynamic principles to design their own virtual fighter jets and then race against other would-be pilots in a high-speed flying competition
