Museum of Flight adds VR 3D tours of classic planes

The Museum of Flight, south of Seattle, is the largest independent, non-profit air and space museum in the world and has just added 3D VR tours of some of its classic aircraft. With over 175 aircraft and spacecraft, tens of thousands of artifacts, millions of rare photographs, dozens of exhibits and experiences and a world-class library, the Museum and its people bring mankind's incredible history of flight to life. The new Matterport 3D Tours give you the opportunity to access the cockpits and interiors of our aircraft at your leisure. These 3D self-guided virtual tours were created by scanning the interior of the Museum's aircraft using the Matterport 3D Camera. There is also 360° Panorama Gallery with images of the inside of its aircraft. The photographs were taken by expert 360° panoramic photographer, Lyle Jansma. The aircraft are; Antonov An-2 Boeing 247D Boeing B-17F Boeing B-29 Boeing VC-137B "Air Force One" Boeing 727-022 Boeing 737-130 Boeing 747-121 Boeing 787 Dreamliner Concorde Douglas DC-2 NASA Space Shuttle Trainer Matterport 3D Tours and 360° Panoramas may not work on all devices.

About AirlineRatings.com Airlineratings.com was developed to provide everyone in the world a one-stop shop for everything related to airlines, formed by a team of aviation editors, who have forensically researched nearly every airline in the world. Our rating system is rated from one to seven stars on safety – with seven being the highest ranking. Within each airline, you will find the country of origin, airline code, booking URL and seat map information. The rating system takes into account a number of different factors related to audits from aviation’s governing bodies, lead associations, as well as the airlines, own safety data. Every airline has a safety rating breakdown so you can see exactly how they rate. Over 230 of the airlines on the site that carry 99 per cent of the world’s passengers have a product rating. Given that low cost, regional and full-service carriers are so different we have constructed a different rating system for each which can be found within each airline.
