This Blériot arrived in Australia in April 1914 with French stunt pilot Maurice Guillaux. He used it for display flights and flew the first airmail from Melbourne to Sydney in July 1914. Because of the war he had to return to France but the aircraft stayed in Australia. In 1916 it was sold ro Robert Graham Carey of Ballarat, Victoria who flew it for his flying school and on exhibition flights. By the end of 1917 it was stored, until sold in 1920 to KJ Claffey. In 1939 it was bought by the Dept of Civil Aviation. In 1947 it was restored by MA Leech, the head teacher and his trainees at the Aircraft Construction Class of the Sydney Technical College. Later it was given additional facelifts until displayed in the Powerhouse Museum.

Formerly the Eurocopter X-4, this Airbus H160 mock up was unveiled at Heli-Expo 2015.

A very good mock up of the real thing

Mockup of the proposed Tempest.

Built in 1931 this is believed to be the worlds oldest surviving helicopter. The design goes back to 1928, when Raoul Hafner first had his ideas for a helicopter at the Technische Hochschule in Vienna. In flight it was unstable and it only made a few short hops

Short-field performance is where the STOL CH 701 aircraft truly excels: It is airborne in less than 120 feet of unprepared grass, or 90 feet of hard surface, at gross weight. Rotation is possible by the time full throttle setting is applied, and lift-off can begin at 25 mph (in ground effect, with no wind) - all within less than four seconds from stand still. Of course, any headwind shortens the time and distance required for take off.

The Learjet 85 was a Learjet development program by aircraft manufacturer Bombardier Aerospace. The Learjet 85 was to fit between the midsize and the super midsize segments of the market. Designed for type certification under FAR-25, it was the first Bombardier Aerospace business jet to feature a composite structure. The plane was intended to have a high-speed cruise of Mach 0.82 and a transcontinental range of up to 3,000 nautical miles (5,600 km). On January 15, 2015, Bombardier announced their decision to suspend the Learjet 85 program.

The Ta-154 was a wooden, fast twin-engined German night fighter aircraft designed by Kurt Tank and produced by Focke-Wulf during late WWII. It was plagued with numerous production problems, including engine suitability and supply issues as well as lamination failures. Rechlin-Lärz was the site for fly-off testing against the He 219A and the new Junkers Ju 388. The Ta-154 performance eventually proved disappointing and it was cancelled to allow all resources to be concentrated on the Me-262. This partial replica is on display at this very interesting museum.
