I agree with Ian and Michael. Visiting the R&D gallery is a highlight. By far, my favorite plane is the XB-70 Valkyrie. It is the only surviving prototype (the second plane crashed after a collision with a chase plane). It exhibits amazing technology from the 60's. The plane's designer, Harrison Storms, was also responsible for the Apollo command module at North American.
Info on visiting the R&D Gallery is provided here.
