Equipped with a swept wing, the Mystère IV was capable of reaching Mach 1 in a dive. In total 411 frames were produced between 1954 and 1958, at first with the Rolls-Royce Tay engine or later with the more powerful Verdon. This example is in reality 105 although it is on display in the colours of a 2e escadre (2nd squadron) plane.

From 1990, 35 Super Etendards underwent an upgrade programme and were subsequently named SEM (Super Etendard Modernisé). These planes received a Damocles Laser designation nacelle, an automatic resetting GPS and FLIR that gave the capability to precision bomb moving targets. In March 2016, a SEM aircraft undertook its final launch from the carrier 'Charles de Gaulle' ahead of its final withdrawal from service in July. The type has since been replaced in service by the Rafale M. This SEM flew from Landivisiau to LBG for introduction into the museum in June 2010.

The Mistral was a French development of the DH.100 Vampire Mk 5 and the very first jet to equip their air force, being in service from 1952 until 1961. In total 247 (I see different numbers quoted, this is from the museum) of the type was built at Marignane between 1951 and 1953.

The Mistral was a French development of the DH.100 Vampire Mk 5 and the very first jet to equip their air force, being in service from 1952 until 1961. In total 247 (I see different numbers quoted, this is from the museum) of the type was built at Marignane between 1951 and 1953.

The Schneider DFS 108-14 SG-38 Schulgleiter is a German high-wing, cable-braced, single-seat primary glider that was designed at the Schneider factory at Grunau in 1938, hence the designation. The SG-38 played a critical role in pilot training for the second-wave of urgently needed Luftwaffe pilots in the WWII. It is one of, if not the most produced glider ever.

The SO Ariel I was an experimental helicopter first flown in 1947, in which the engine drove a compressor and the low-pressure air output was ducted to a combustion chamber at the end of each of the three rotor blades, where the air was mixed with fuel and ignited. The improved Ariel II first flew in March 1949 and is on display in the Hall des Hélicoptères at this super museum. A final version, Aerial III was also developed and the knowledge gained from the programme was used in the development of the Sud-Ouest Djinn.

The Leduc 0.10 was a French research aircraft and one of the first aircraft to fly powered solely by a ramjet. Ramjets cannot produce thrust at zero airspeed and so cannot move from a standing start. It has to be carried aloft by a parasite aircraft, hence, the display in the Hall des Prototypes. The pilot controlled the aircraft from within the inner shell and the first powered flight from atop an Languedoc mother ship was made in April 1949 over Toulouse. The two initial prototypes both crashed but this third prototype completed 83 test flights.

This C-47 was built in Oklahoma City and TOC with the USAAF as 43-49194. In February 1946 it became D-21 with the Czechoslovak AF and flew with the Air Transport Regiment (Letecký dopravní pluk - LDP, which later became LDP.1, and after further re-organisation 1.ldp and then 1.dlp). In 1957 the frame was given the new serial 9194 and flew with the Czechoslovaks until 1960, after which it went to the French AF as 49194 and after decommissioning became F-OGFI. Sometime later the frame was scrapped and only the nose is on display at this super museum.

A successor to the Ouragan and Mystère II, this prototype made its first flight in September, 1952. The aircraft entered service with the AdlA in 1955 and was exported to India and Israel. This is the plane that broke the sound barrier for the first time in France, in a dive in January 1953, during its 34th flight. In memory of this episode, the pilot had a broken wall painted on the plane's nose.

The Potez 53 was a French low-wing enclosed cockpit single-seat cantilever monoplane racing aircraft built specifically to compete in the 1933 Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe race, which it won outright. The plane was subsequently modifies to make it even faster and in total three variants were produced. This is the first plane on display in its unmodified form.
