The challenge
A military AN-26 transport aircraft had to be moved between two Warsaw museums as a complete exhibit — dismantled, driven ~5 km through the city and reassembled, without compromising the airframe's structural integrity.
- Large, fragile museum exhibit: the airframe had to keep full structural integrity through dismantling, transport and reassembly.
- An oversized move through a dense urban environment — ~5 km across central Warsaw.
- Crane and transport coordinated precisely in tight city conditions, on schedule.
Our approach
- 1
Survey & plan
A dismantling, lifting and city-route plan built around the move between the two museums.
- 2
Engineering & rigging
A crane and a boom lift, with slinging sized to the airframe.
- 3
Dismantling
The aircraft taken apart into transportable sections without stressing the structure.
- 4
Marking
Every section marked for exact reassembly.
- 5
Logistics
The ~5 km oversized move across Warsaw, from the National Museum to the Polish Army Museum.
- 6
Assembly
Reassembled at the new site to full structural integrity.
What made it unusual
Museum-grade handling of a historic 15-tonne airframe — dismantled, moved across a live city and put back together with its structure fully intact, on schedule and with zero incidents.
