Pax River Naval Air Museum

In addition to its extensive outdoor aircraft displays, many of which played a vital role in the Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) of Naval aviation, the Patuxent River Naval Air Museum also features a wide range of indoor exhibits. These exhibits further illustrate the RDT&E legacy, showcasing the technological advancements and historical milestones that have shaped naval aviation. Photographs of these exhibits can be found throughout the museum’s website, particularly in the RDT&E archives section. This page provides an overview of some—but not all—of the specialized exhibit areas available inside the museum.
