Preserving America's rotary-wing heritage.
Inspiring the next generation of flight.
The National Military Helicopter Museum & STEM Learning Center is creating one of America's premier destinations — where military aviation history, STEM education, veteran service, and the future of vertical flight come together.
America has aviation museums. None like this.
No single institution today combines rotary-wing military heritage, STEM education, veteran engagement, workforce development, and the emerging future of vertical flight under one roof. We are building that place — in Arizona, at the heart of American aerospace.
For seventy years, military helicopters have carried Americans through their most defining moments — from Korean ridgelines to Vietnamese jungles, from Desert Storm to modern humanitarian missions. Their stories, and the pilots and crews who flew and maintained them, are getting a national home.
One museum. Four foundations.
Heritage
Preserving the aircraft, stories, and service of every generation of American military helicopter aviation.
Education
A campus-scale STEM learning center training the next generation of engineers, technicians, and aviators.
Innovation
From autonomous flight to eVTOL and Advanced Air Mobility — showcasing the future being built today.
Service
A gathering place for veterans, families, and the communities who supported them.
From Korea to the age of autonomous flight.
