The 73,000-square-foot Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Tour is one of
Western Washington's major attractions you won't want to miss. It features the
only public tour of a commercial jet assembly plant in North America. The Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Tour debuted in December 2005. With developments in aviation technology coming at an ever-quickening pace, The Boeing Company, Future of Flight Foundation, Snohomish County Public Facilities District and the Snohomish County Airport (Paine Field) joined forces to create a unique interpretive center so visitors could glimpse the future of commercial aviation.
The $23-million Future of Flight project mission is to engage you, the visitor, in the wonder of flight - from the astonishing miracle of powered flight itself to the impact of commercial aviation on humanity around the globe.
Come to the Future of Flight to learn, be inspired and perhaps influence your
own future - or that of your children!
The Future of Flight features hands-on exhibits, videos, graphics and
interactive stations to involve and appeal to the whole family. For example, you
can:
Digitally design and test your own jet - and then pick up a print of it in the
Future of Flight Store to take home.
Take an exhilarating ride aboard the multi-passenger XJ5 Flight Simulator,
flying with the best pilots in the world as they soar above unknown territory at
mind-jarring, supersonic speeds!
Explore the interactive displays designed to provide you with an understanding
and appreciation of technology as applied to the science of flight.
Try out the next generation of in-flight entertainment systems.
Touch the high-tech "skin" of the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Learn how technology and aviation can serve as change agents to connect people
and cultures across the globe.
The Boeing Tour and Boeing Store expanded both its facilities and its hours when
it became part of the Future of Flight Aviation Center. Now you can watch the
world's largest jets assembled in the world's largest building on Saturdays and
Sundays as well as weekdays.
