On WORLD HELICOPTER DAY (8/18/24), the Nation’s Premier Aviation Museum Dedicated to the Incredible History of Rotary Flight will host a team setting the the Guinness World Record for the “Greatest Height to Drop a Protected Egg Without Breaking.” On SUNDAY, AUGUST 18, 2024 the American Helicopter Museum & Education Center will host the T/E Egg Drop Team (composed of students and a teacher from Conestoga High School and Valley Forge Middle School) as they attempt to “crush the record” (but “protect the egg”) for the Guinness World Record for the “Greatest Height to Drop a Protected Egg Without Breaking” at 1:00 PM. Among the T/E Egg Drop Team members are former Guinness World Record holders (they set the previous record on June 9, 2022 with a drop from a height of nearly 44 feet). Team has revamped the egg drop device by making some engineering design changes, and looking to set a new record at over 80 ft! The American Helicopter Museum & Education Center will also offer helicopter rides (12:30 to 3:30) for an additional fee. Admission to the museum includes all exhibits and experiences, including our current special exhibits “To The Moon: Snoopy Soars with NASA” and “Rockets and Rotors.”
