Excursion to the Angara NAU - everything you wanted to know about airplanes

The hangar itself is unique - it is the largest training hangar in Europe. Its area is 7200 sq. m. and is almost equal to the football field of the Olympic stadium.

More than 10 types of aircraft are presented here: from the only surviving aircraft in the world, the ANT-7, to the Tu-154, the most massive Soviet jet passenger aircraft. And you can see the work of many exhibits live. Of course, everyone knows what an airplane looks like, but how exactly are all its parts launched, setting the huge ship in motion?
