Rahmi M. Koç Museum (Istanbul)

Rahmi M. Koç Museum (Istanbul) preserves civil and military aircraft that illustrate twentieth-century aviation technology and its Turkish connections.. A waterfront museum of industry, transport and communications, the Istanbul collection is assembled in buildings and outdoor space at Hasköy. Aircraft share the institution with classic vehicles, boats and engines. The museum identifies aircraft in both the Mustafa V. Koç Building and the outdoor display area. Its online catalog provides a visitor-oriented shortlist; some listed items may be assemblies or partial survivors. The aircraft listed here are selected holdings supported by the linked institutional sources, not a complete inventory; where a source documents collection ownership without specifying the current gallery location, the display status is deliberately left unknown.
