Did anybody manage to get over to Southport for the airshow this weekend? Anybody going to Farnborough? What about RIAT?
Our CEO Jerrod Hartley has featured in the Aerospace Magazine Farnborough Edition, and it's well worth a read if you have a bit of time, and although he won't be in personal attendance at Farnborough, he will be down in Fairford for the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT 2024) at the end of the week.

An airshow is a great opportunity to stand back and appreciate why we do what we do. Seeing these great machines in action is impressive, but also an opportunity for reflection.
It wasn't really that long ago since Wilbur and Orville Wright created the first successful heavier than air flying machine, the Wright Flyer, in 1903, where it achieved a powered flight of 59 seconds covering a distance of 259 metres.
It's incredible how far we've come in a relatively short space of time, with modern aircraft with incredible safety and performance profiles. Take the Eurofighter Typhoon for example, which entered service way back in 2003, with some mightily impressive stats:
Top speed - Mach 2.0 (approx. 1,550 mph)
Ceiling - 55,000 feet
Climb Rate - 0 to 36,000 feet in under 90 seconds
Acceleration - subsonic to Mach 1.5 in under 30 seconds
Thrust - 40,000 lb (equivalent to the weight of over 13 VW Golfs)
So, here's to all the hard work, dedication, creative thinking, and human ingenuity that have driven our progress over the past several hundred years. Let's also toast to the future, where we will continue to push boundaries and overcome new challenges with the same dedication and vigour. While the challenges of the future may differ from those of the past, our approach remains steadfast and committed to innovation and excellence.
What's your favourite aircraft and why?
They say everything is bigger in Texas. It just got faster too.
Today at Farnborough International Airshow, we announced that Symphony assembly and testing will take place at StandardAero’s facility in San Antonio. As part of our expanded relationship, StandardAero will manage production, which will scale up to 330 engines annually.

What a great week down at Farnborough International Airshow #FIA24
Whilst overall, aircraft orders and attendance are down, diversity (of product, and indeed people) is significantly higher.
The show, and indeed wider industry are still recovering from the pandamic, but along with this comes a lot of positive change.
Over the decade+ that we have been attending, the change is significant, and whilst the flying displays are certainly not what they were (and the lack of cold war jets upsets Apera-bot) the focus on the future more than makes up for this.
Alongside this, ‘24s show was the first ever to allow public access to exhibition halls, helping inspire the next generation of engineers, pilots and innovators. There was a greater sense of ‘connection’ to the wider world, and we only see this as a good thing.
There is a brave new world slowly commercialising, we can’t wait to see what the next decade will hold.

UPDATE #AIRTEC 2024 - #Future in Focus
Oct 8-10, 2024 Trade Fair #Augsburg
"Innovations in #aerospace often go hand in hand with issues in #safety and #defense and were fostered by overlapping technological challenges between aerospace industry and defense industry.”
For Airtec, these are the reasons to expand the existing thematic canon to include ‘Defense & Security’ – as we have already reported before.
The strong focus on #dual_use approaches, which also extend to areas such as #automotive and #transportation, #industrial#automation, and novel #energy concepts, makes Airtec an attractive platform for exhibitors and visitors alike.
We feel honored that Andreas Hammer Head of Combat Air Systems Airbus Defence and Space (Manching) will be one of the already confirmed
opening speakers. We have also already reported our delight that the Bavarian State Minister Dr. Florian Herrmann, MdL, has taken over the patronage of Airtec 2024 and will personally open Airtec on October 8, 2024.
The exhibitors (as only they are allowed to appear as SELLERS in the B2B meetings) will likely meet buyers and high-ranking tech managers from the following companies at the B2B meetings: Rheinmetall, MBDA Deutschland GmbH, Boeing, Diehl Aerospace, Diehl Defence GmbH & Co. KG, Airbus Defence & Space (here also and especially ‘Defense’), Airbus Helicopters, DAHER Aerospace GmbH, Liebherr Aerospace GmbH, MT Aerospace AG, Raytheon, Rolls-Royce, Safran Electronics & Defense, Spherea GmbH, Thales, IAI, Elbit, Leonardo, TAI, MTU, Pratt & Whitney, General Atomics, and many more.
Take advantage of the unique opportunity to make cross-industry contacts at Airtec 2024, expand your network, and exchange ideas about the latest trends and developments. Whether you are active in the aerospace industry, the defense sector, or related fields – Airtec is a must for all who want to be at the forefront of technological #innovation.
