The proposed project is a Jordanian Academy and Aviation Museum located in Marka, Jordan. Marka was selected as the site due to its proximity to Amman International Airport, which would allow students to utilize the runway for flight training. The project aims to provide educational and entertainment opportunities to visitors while raising awareness of aviation. Locating in Marka could also increase tourism between Amman and Zarqa as the area is experiencing rapid urban growth. The aviation museum would display the history of flight and Jordan's aviation heritage to educate the public.

5. History of Aviation

6. Aircraft have been around for a century but the history of aviation has
extended over more than 2000 years from the earliest kites and attempts
at tower jumping to supersonic ,and hypersonic flights by powered heavier
than air jets
in mythology of ancient civilizations, humans attributed the ability to fly to
their deities, mythical figures and demons. The ability of the supreme
beings expressed the dream, the trial and the urge of humans to fly
themselves.
In order to fly, they needed wings. So humans over and over again tried to
create wings like the wings of birds or insects.
Leonardo da Vinci ‘s 15th –century dream of flight found expression
in several rational but unscientific design, He introduced lighter-than air.
he didn’t attempt to construct any of them.

7. For next 23 years, Ibn Firnas devoted himself to studying birds, the design of their wings and improving his
flying machine. His new design appears to be a hang-glider which had two sets of wings to adjust altitude and
direction. The wings were made from eagle feather and the surface covering from silk. In 875, at the age of
65, Ibn Firnas made a history of flying.
He jumped from the Jabal Al-Arus Mountain .In this time, his aircraft worked: he jumped and was able to fly
like a bird for at least ten minutes. When Ibn Firnas became tired of flying, he wanted to land but could not
simply because his aircraft, in difference from birds, did not have a tail! He had focused all of his energy in
studying the mechanics of flying and taking off but neglected the mechanics of landing. He crashed and broke
his back. But he understood that birds landed on the root of their tail.
The man who gave us wings and was able to fly in his flying
machine in the 9th century was Abbas Ibn Firnas from
Andalusia
Abbas Ibn Firnas made first controlled flight in human history.
His first flight took place in 852. He wrapped himself in a coat
that was reinforced with wooden pieces, and jumped off from
the minaret of Cordoba’s largest mosque. In this time, Ibn
Firnas failed in his attempt, but was lucky enough to be flying
low. His coat served him as a parachute and he fell down
slowly landing without any major injuries.

8. Lighter than air vehicles
Effort to analyze the atmosphere from the 17th to 19th centuries led
to the discovery of gases such as hydrogen , which in turn led to the
invention of hydrogen balloons .
• Lighter-than air vehicles, at first used hot air but started using
hydrogen because it is lighter than air. But hydrogen is highly
explosive and can be triggered by just a spark.
• On May 6th 1937, Hindenburg a hydrogen airship exploded and
crashed on landing in New Jersey.
• Nowadays, airships use helium which is an inert gas.

9. The first flight
• The Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville, made the first
successful heavier than air aircraft, the Wright flyer.
• The first flight was on December 17th 1903.After the
Wright brothers first flight, there was an aviation boom.
• Modern-day aircraft giants, Boeing and Airbus, came into
The first plane, the Wright existence. flyer
Various theories in mechanics by physicists during the same
period of time, notably fluid dynamics and newton’s laws of
motion, led to the foundation of modern aerodynamics .
Experiments with gliders provided the groundwork for heavier than air craft, and by the early 20th century advances in
engine technology and aerodynamics made controlled, powered flight possible for the first time

10. A new era of aviation
• With the first flight over, it marked the era of
heavier-than air flight.
Till now, propellers were being used to power
planes but the introduction of the jet engine made
planes much more efficient and comfortable to fly.

Modern Aviation
• When World War II ended, passenger transport became
faster and more comfortable. Jet planes were immediately
introduced.
• The first jet aircraft was the De Havilland Comet.
• As the years went by, jet engines became better and better.
• Now, the present day giants are Boeing and Airbus. De

12. What is a Museum?
A museum is an institution that cares for a collection of artifacts and other objects of scientific, artistic, cultural, or
historical importance and makes them available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or
temporary
Museums have varying aims ,ranging from serving
researchers and specialists to serving the general public
Purpose of Museums

Public

13. Purpose od museums:
The purpose of modern museums is to collect, preserve, interpret, and display items of artistic, cultural, or scientific
significance for the education of the public. – Learning and access are supposed to be central to the purpose of all
museums
a museum might be seen as a way to educate the public about the museum's mission, such as civil rights or
environmentalism.
Museums are storehouses of knowledge, gathering all examples of each classification of field of knowledge
research and display it
Museum purposes vary from institution to institution. Some favor education over conservation, or vice versa.
Museum purposes vary from institution to institution. Some favor education over conservation, or vice versa. For
example, in the 1970s, the Canada Science and Technology Museum favored education over preservation of their
objects. They displayed objects as well as their functions. One exhibit featured a historic printing press that a staff
member used for visitors to create museum memorabilia Some seek to reach a wide audience, such as a national or
state museum, while some museums have specific audiences, like the LDS Church History Museum or local history
organizations. Generally speaking, museums collect objects of significance that comply with their mission statement for
conservation and display. Although most museums do not allow physical contact with the associated artifacts, there are
some that are interactive and encourage a more hands-on approach.

14. Aim of Museums:
Family entertainment
Educate the public
Economic health

15. History
Early museums
Early museums began as the private collections of wealthy individuals, families or institutions of art and rare or
curious natural objects and artifacts These were often displayed in so-called wonder rooms or cabinets of curiosities.
The oldest such museum in evidence was Ennigaldi-Nanna's museum, dating from c. 530 BC and devoted
to Mesopotamian antiquities; it apparently had sufficient traffic as to warrant labels for the ordered collection,
although there is no source for this information
One of these naturalists and collectors was Ulisse Aldrovandi, whose collection policy of gathering as many objects
and facts about them was "encyclopedic" in nature, reminiscent of that of Pliny, the Roman philosopher and
naturalist. The idea was to consume and collect as much knowledge as possible, to put everything they collected and
everything they knew in these displays

16. Public access to these museums was often possible for the "respectable", especially
to private art collections, but at the whim of the owner and his staff. One way that elite
men during this time period gained a higher social status in the world of elites was by
becoming a collector of these curious objects and displaying them. Many of the items
in these collections were new discoveries and these collectors or naturalists, since
many of these people held interest in natural sciences, were eager to obtain them. By
putting their collections in a museum and on display, they not only got to show their
fantastic finds but they also used the museum as a way to sort and "manage the
empirical explosion of materials that wider dissemination of ancient texts, increased
travel, voyages of discovery, and more systematic forms of communication and
exchange had produced.
In time, however, museum philosophy would change and the encyclopedic nature of information that was
so enjoyed by Aldrovandi and his cohorts would be dismissed as well as "the museums that contained this
knowledge." The 18th century scholars of the Age of Enlightenment saw their ideas of the museum as
superior and based their natural history museums on "organization and taxonomy" rather than displaying
everything in any order after the style of Aldrovandi.

17. Modern museums
The Ashmolean Museum, however, founded in 1677 from the personal collection of
Elias Ashmole, was set up in the University of Oxford to be open to the public and is
considered by some to be the first modern public museum
In France, the first public museum was the Louvre Museum in Paris, opened in 1793
during the French Revolution, which enabled for the first time free access to the
former French royal collections for people of all stations and status. The fabulous art
treasures collected by the French monarchy over centuries were accessible to the
public three days each.
in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (this is often called "The Museum Period" or
"The Museum Age")many American museums, both natural history museums and art
museums alike, were founded with the intention of focusing on the scientific
discoveries and artistic developments in North America
The first "public" museums were often accessible only by the middle and upper classes. It could be difficult
to gain entrance. When the British Museum opened to the public in 1759, it was a concern that large
crowds could damage the artifacts. Prospective visitors to the British Museum had to apply in writing for
admission, and small groups were allowed into the galleries each day. The British Museum became
increasingly popular during the 19th century, amongst all age groups and social classes who visited the
British Museum, especially on public holidays.

19. Kind of Exhibits
• Different types of museum exhibits
– Mural exhibit: an exhibit of objects with a painted backdrop
– Panel show: an exhibit in what documents and photographs are mounted on the wall
– Period room: an actual or recreated room using authentic objects from a special time period
– Diorama: a three-dimensional representation of a particular scene
– Case exhibit: objects arranged inside a glass-fronted case

20. An aviation museum, air museum, or aerospace museum is a museum exhibiting the history and artifacts
of aviation. In addition to actual or replica aircraft, exhibits can include photographs,maps, models, dioramas,
clothing and equipment used by aviators.
Aviation museums vary in size from housing just one or two aircraft to hundreds. They may be owned by national,
regional or local governments or be privately owned. Some museums address the history and artifacts of space
exploration as well, illustrating the close association between aeronautics and astronautics.
Many aviation museums concentrate on military or civil aviation, or on aviation history of a particular era, such
as pioneer aviation or the succeeding "golden age" between the World Wars, aircraft of World War II or a specific type
of aviation, such as gliding.
Aviation museums may display their aircraft only on the ground or fly some of them. Museums that do not fly their
aircraft may have decided not to do so either because the aircraft are not in condition to fly or because they are
considered too rare or valuable. Museums may fly their aircraft in air shows or other aviation related events.

22. Tourism and the local economy
Museums are also a significant factor in attracting tourist
to an area and can therefor be instrumental of supplying
a passing trade as well as offering local people
employment
Education
In terms of education , going to a museum bring what
is taught in schools to life, by seeing artefacts or
paintings for example.
Museums can then be an extremely valuable source of
creativity ,particularly organizations such as art
galleries or photography exhibitions, as many people
find they are inspired and subsequently want to try
such activities themselves
Research
Museums are also instrumental to
research programs in this country
.
For many people undertaking
research, museums provide an
unrivalled wealth of information
and resources as well as access to
archieves,scholars and highly
trained professionals

28. WHY MARKA
• It is located in front of Amman international airport (AMIA) so we can use the
runway
• It stand as a connection point between al Zarqa and Amman
• Our main goal In the project is to offer educational Entertaining place to
the visitor so we chose Marka as it has lack of such facilities
• Increase the awareness for aviation while
according to Amman Urban Growth Rate
Statistics at the Block level GIS Data by point

29. Marka is a district of Greater Amman Municipality, Jordan. It is to the north-east of Amman proper. Its
confines include Amman Civil Airport and the Marka refugee camp.
Population as of 2015 was 148,100.
Amman-Marka International Airport (AMIA)
TIMELINE
AMIA Established 1950 by the British as a joint military civilian airport it is
located 2.7 NM North East of Amman, the airport grew quickly to
become Jordan's only international gateway. and it is operational 24
hours a day.
In the years that followed, the aircraft using it increased in size, AMIA single
runway 06/24, which was extended from 2,000 meters to 3,286 meters in
1976.
Runway related and other navigational aids were upgraded the same year, culminating in the opening of the
new control tower. However AMIA became more congested year by year, And AMIA lives on for another
reason. Originally built in open countryside, urban development has surrounded it on three out four of four
sides to make it a suburban airport.

30. An amazing variety of aircraft and people pass through AMIA, and traffic ranges from giant Galaxy C5s, C17,
B747, A340, VC10s and Antonov 124s. not least AMIA extraordinary capacity and its proven ability to handle
all types of traffic. Capable of handling up to 1.5 million passengers a year and able to accommodate the
B747-400s aircraft. and AMIA alternative to QAIA.
over 150,000 passengers passed through in 2006, and there were 33,488 aircraft movements
including 9,920 commercial aircraft.
