The challenge
A YAK-40 jet passenger aircraft had to be relocated between two Warsaw museums — dismantled, moved ~5 km across the city centre by night under a road closure, and reassembled, without touching power lines or damaging the exhibit.
- Oversized night transport through central Warsaw, requiring a coordinated road closure.
- The route had to thread under live power lines without contact.
- The exhibit had to keep full integrity through dismantling, transport and reassembly.
Our approach
- 1
Survey & plan
A dismantling, route and night-transport plan, including the road closure and power-line clearances.
- 2
Engineering & rigging
A crane and a bucket lift, with slinging sized to the airframe.
- 3
Dismantling
The aircraft separated into transport sections.
- 4
Marking
Sections marked for exact reassembly.
- 5
Logistics
The ~5 km oversized night move under a road closure, routed to clear the power lines.
- 6
Assembly
Reassembled at the Polish Army Museum, to full integrity.
What made it unusual
An oversized airframe moved across a sleeping city — a night transport with a coordinated road closure, routed to clear live power lines, then reassembled exhibit-perfect.
