This study collects different types of information and studies about Aviation Expo around the world and in Saudi Arabia. In specific, this study investigates case studies and analysis, identifies project components for zoning, provides space program as well as determines the appropriate project location based on the site evaluation criteria. This project is under the category of education and entertainment building. The proposed zoning plan includes the main lobby, administrative areas, education areas, museum and gallery areas, Skydome cinema and service areas. Based on the site assessment, the proposed location for the project is in the Obhur Al-Shamaliyah area of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. 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. A lot of aviation galleries focus on military or civil flight, or on aircraft history of a particular period, for example, pioneers flight or the succeeding golden age among the World War I and II, or a specific sort of aircraft.

Introduction The aircraft is an air vehicle heavier than the air and is an air transport. Flying either by sail, by motor or by several engines, it can fly in the air depending on the force generated on their wings, or by the force of air drag. Also, the aircraft require regular maintenance to ensure airworthiness, maintain aircraft reliability and provide flight safety [1]. Aircraft is one of the most important inventions in these days which have contributed significantly to the development of society at the present time, and it has transferred the whole world a quantum leap as it has shortened the distances between people in different places around the world [2, 3]. The major importance of aircraft is to shorten the time and shorten the distance between people, as it is unlike the previous methods of transportation such as cars and ships, which needed months to get from the Middle East to the United States of America. Aviation was able to enter all areas of life and from the widest doors, because of the great ease, and the high efficiency unmatched in linking the different cities of the world [4]. Some may suggest that the term aviation is linked only to travel, but the term is actually larger and more general. The most important areas related to aviation and aircraft are travel field, business field, military field, and other using. Aviation and aircraft are commonly used in travel and business field. Many people today rely on flying in their travels from one area to another around the world. Aviation takes a great deal of time and is easy, convenient and comfortable for travelers. Airlines are competing around the world to provide the best services to passengers on their airlines. Besides that, aviation and aircraft entered the commercial space from the widest possible range. Aircraft have the capacity to carry goods, parcels, and letters [5]. Transport and shipping companies have specialized in this
