Innovations in Flight Day 2026 - Aircraft Application

All potential participants must complete this form in its entirety, including indicating how their aircraft fit into the theme of "speed".

Filling out this application does not guarantee attendance at the event.

Information collected through this form is used to complete an application to participate in the National Air and Space Museum’s Innovations in Flight Day on June 13, 2026, and is used only to evaluate the applicant’s aircraft for participation. Information submitted is not shared with other entities.

The application will close on March 13, 2026. Accepted aircraft will be notified by March 20, 2026. This is an earlier application window than in previous years due to increased coordination with FSDO and the need for experimental waivers.

Any questions can be directed to Shannon Baldioli at BaldioliSM@si.edu.
