摘要

For our 40th birthday this July, the National Air and Space Museum will welcome visitors to a completely transformed entrance gallery, thanks to an early birthday present from Boeing. With the $30 million gift we received in 2014, we have been working in several ways to make the new Boeing Milestones of Flight Hall a more engaging and educational introduction to the Museum's collection. First, a number of the historic air-and spacecraft that greet visitors in the new gallery have been undergoing extensive preservation. Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis has been a part of the Smithsonian Institution since 1928; conservators have recently cleaned and renewed the preservation treatment of the entire aircraft. The Bell X-1, the first airplane to fly faster than the speed of sound, has been suspended from the gallery's ceiling since the Museum opened in 1976. In April, technicians lowered the bright orange airplane to the gallery floor, where it was reunited with its landing gear. Here's what happened: At some time in its life, the Bell X-1 was mounted on a pole, and, to add the internal structure needed for that type of display, workers removed the landing gear. In fact, they cut it off the frame. The landing gear came to us with the airplane, and this spring our restoration shop re-manufactured the connecting pieces and reattached the gear. The airplane is now more authentic than it's ever been since it went on display 40 years ago.
