In 1985, the Beijing Aviation Museum was founded as part of the university of Aeronautics and Astronautics; in 1986, it was officially opened to the public.

The university is considered to be one of China's best engineering schools and is highly influential to the country's aeronautical and space industries.

The museum carries over 300 domestic and international aerospace items including plane structures, engines and equipment.

Because the museum is part of a university, many classes about aircraft structure, landing gears, missiles and other plane related topics are given there.

It is called Futura City Beijing Air and Space Museum that also has 18 interactive exhibits, 3 theaters, children's astronaut training center and more.

[6] The Dream of the Sky exhibit is divided into four areas: aviation design, aircraft engines, avionics and aerospace.

The showroom houses multiple parts of the airplane such as fuselage, wings, landing gear, engines and on-board equipment.

There are touchscreens that correspond to each plane that provides relevant background information so visitors can learn the technologies and stories behind each of these aircraft.
