2018 FARNBOROUGH INTERNATIONAL AIRSHOW IN REVIEW

摘要

IN FEW WORDS THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE organizer and of the international press were not high, but as usual with these large international aerospace events, the result was much better than expected. Although not a maintenance-focused event, the Farnborough trade event was, and still is, the platform for the aerospace industry to do business and is in the focus of many airlines, aviation companies, and airframe and engine manufacturers from around the world. What is seen at these events will someday be ours to operate and maintain. Regardless, we feel it's important to provide a few highlights of what's happening on the world stage. FIA is held on even years and tries to reach and compete with the Paris/LeBourget Show importance which is held in uneven years. The biennial air show has its origins in the annual RAF Airshow held in Hendon from 1920. FIA is held in Farnborough, which is conveniently located some 30 miles (48 km) southwest of central London. As other shows in this field, the FIA has its tradeshow, and its public show parts, held respectively July 16-20, and July 21-22, 2018.
