点评:The Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada is at Winnipeg Airport. It was an interesting museum. I went up to the second floor and took panoramic photos of the exhibits on the ground floor. There are also outdoor exhibits. (The labels for the outdoor exhibits are inside the museum building, but are not easy to find. One of them as missing entirely.)
The Air Canada plane in my photo is a Vickers VC2 Viscount, 1958. It was the first aircraft to be powered by turboprop engines. I could climb the steps and go inside that plane. I saw the interior and the cockpit.
The Avro Canada VZ-9 Avrocar was made in 1958. It looks like a flying saucer! It was part of a top-secret U.S. Air Force project to develop a supersonic fighter capable of vertical liftoff and landing.
If you have time at the airport, this is a good way to spend that time. Note that the museum is best accessed by walking across the parking lot rather than following the perimeter road.
翻译:加拿大西部皇家航空博物馆位于温尼伯机场。这是一个很有意思的博物馆。我上了二楼,拍了一些一楼展品的全景照片。博物馆还有一些户外展区。(户外展区的说明牌在博物馆建筑内,但不太容易找到。其中一个展区的说明牌完全不见了。)
照片中的加拿大航空飞机是一架1958年产的维克斯VC2子爵型飞机。它是第一架采用涡轮螺旋桨发动机的飞机。我可以爬上舷梯进入机舱内部参观。我参观了内部结构和驾驶舱。
照片中的加拿大阿弗罗VZ-9“阿弗罗卡”飞机也是1958年制造的。它看起来像个飞碟!它是美国空军一项绝密项目的一部分,该项目旨在研发一种能够垂直起降的超音速战斗机。
如果您在机场有时间,参观博物馆是个不错的选择。请注意,前往博物馆的最佳路线是穿过停车场步行,而不是沿着机场周边的道路走。
