From February 18, 2025, the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace is offering a new platform for experimentation within the museum: it's called Simupilote, and it lets everyone slip into the shoes of an airline pilot (for real)!

Calling all budding pilots and other aviation enthusiasts: from February 18, 2025, just in time for the winter vacations of 2025, the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace will be inaugurating Simupilote, a restored and completely redesigned flight experience.

As its name suggests, Simupilote lets you slip into the skin of a pilot during a flight simulation experience. Accessible to young and old alike, from the age of 8, it lets you discover the basics of piloting: from take-off to landing, it's up to you to take the controls for a flight from Le Bourget (where the Air and Space Museum is located) toCharles de Gaulle airport.

For each flight session, a maximum of 20 people will be able to take place aboard the Simupilote, for an experience lasting around an hour: ten piloting duos will be formed, so that each pilot has a co-pilot to assist him or her, just like on a real flight. Afterwards, take advantage of the opportunity to discover the temporary exhibitions and permanent collections, climb aboard the aircraft on site, explore the control tower...
