Dubai Airshow

DUBAI'S biennial Airshow takes place 15-19 November at the Airport Expo site, part of existing Dubai International Airport.  It is both a commercial and military show and is organised by F&E Aerospace, a specialist exhibition company.  Visitors to the show will hear about the exciting development plans for the Aerion supersonic business jet, which will fly executives at twice the speed of today’s conventional business jets.  A scale model will be on display on the Aerion stand.  In the exhibition halls, the EADS stand will showcase an array of the group’s exhibits, including two impressive full-scale mock-ups – the Airbus A350 XWB cabin, in which visitors can watch the “Shaping Efficiency” audio-visual presentation, and Eurocopter’s 16-seat civilian helicopter, the EC175.  In order to cope with the unprecedented growth of this year’s airshow, floor-space has been increased by over 7,000sqm, with the addition of a new hall, and the number of hospitality chalets has risen to 114.  Much of the discussion will be about the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.  What happens over the next ten weeks is likely to be crucial to how the aircraft is considered. www.dubaiairshow.aero
