USA signs up first for national pavilion at the 2025 Paris Airshow...

Kallman Worldwide, organizer of the U.S. presence at the world’s most influential trade events, and SIAE, organizers of the International Paris Air Show, today announced that the United States of America is the first country to secure space for a national pavilion at next year’s biennial gathering at Le Bourget Airport.

 

The 2025 event will be the 55^th edition of the storied expo and Kallman’s 30^th year as the show’s U.S. representative. Following a record return in 2023 after a four-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2025 USA Partnership Pavilion is expected to host a record-breaking 300-plus exhibitors over more than 6,500 sqm in its long-standing location in Hall 3 next July 16-22.

 

“We welcome the United States as the first national pavilion of the 2025 Paris Air Show floor plan,” said the show’s recently appointed CEO, Guillaume Bourdeloux. “It is a fitting statement of America’s leadership in the aerospace industry and the Paris Air Show’s proven reputation as the premier gathering place in the world for industry leaders.”

 

Produced in coordination with government agencies including the U.S. Departments of Commerce, Defense, State, and Transportation, the Pavilion is America’s headquarters on-site, a high-profile showcase for participating U.S. exhibitors to maximize their success at the event, and a forum for all to share ideas and insights. The roster of participants is expected to include returning and first-time exhibitors, including a number of stand-alone state pavilions within the larger U.S. space, all looking to generate new business and create more jobs back home by growing exports, expanding their presence in international markets, and/or recruiting overseas partners to establish or participate in stateside operations.

 

Farnborough Airshow: Boeing adapts presence to prioritize factory safety and quality

Boeing is promising to tailor its presence at the 2024 Farnborough International Airshow from solely promoting sales of its products to also focusing on strengthening its safety and quality reputation following dozens of recent safety issues.

From 22-26 June, visitors to Boeing's exhibit will experience immersive and fully interactive product and technology displays spanning Boeing's portfolio, featuring:

Sustainability technologies, including the X-66 Sustainable Flight Demonstrator, Boeing ecoDemonstrator and Cascade data-visualization tool to inform decarbonization strategies

F-15 and other defense product and service experiences

Cabin products and demonstrations of Boeing's joint all-domain command and control and environmental modeling capabilities

Boeing's portfolio of freighter programmes

"We are concentrated on implementing our comprehensive safety and quality plan and meeting our customer commitments. With these priorities in mind, we have reduced our commercial airplanes display and flight demonstrations at the show, and will focus on new technology, sustainability, security and services solutions," says Dr Brendan Nelson AO, president of Boeing Global. "The best way to build trust is through high-quality performance in our factories, one airplane at a time."

Boeing-produced products on display will include:

F-15QA fighter jet with two differently configured aircraft performing aerial demonstrations

Wisk Aero, a wholly-owned Boeing subsidiary, will exhibit its Generation 6 aircraft – the world's first all-electric, autonomous eVTOL air taxi. The four-seat aircraft promises to bring safe everyday flight to all once certified and in service.

Aerobytes confirm sponsorship of Rich Goodwin Airshows

Popular Aerobatic Display team, Rich Goodwin Airshows, can now confirm that Aerobytes, a world-leading Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) company will be their headline sponsor for the 2024 Airshow Season.

Rich, an ex-RAF Tornado and commercial pilot, wows crowds throughout the UK and Europe with his unique style of flying where high energy gyroscopic forces blend with aerobatic manoeuvres to produce an exciting dynamic routine.

He flies two aircraft, G-EWIZ, a modified muscle biplane and a recent edition to the fleet; G-JPIT - the Jet Pitts muscle biplane - a unique aircraft, and one of a kind. It has been modified structurally to have two LYNX jet turbine engines mounted on the fuselage sides – a first for such an aircraft and means it can hover like a Harrier!

This unique innovation turns heads at every airshow because nobody in the audience expects a small, propeller-driven aircraft to suddenly ‘let rip’ with jet noise and accelerate vertically. Once those jets power up, all heads are pointing in only one direction! 

But it is the story behind those jet engines that has attracted Aerobytes to sponsor Rich Goodwin Airshows, as well as the shared ambition to inspire and excite the next generation in aviation and the STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths).

Eddie Forrester, MD of Aerobytes commented; “What Rich has achieved with both of his superb, home-built aircraft is an inspiration to future engineers and pilots. You don’t know what the limit is on ‘possible’ until you witness somebody having passed it! If only a handful of would-be pilots or engineers have that creative fire lit in them as a result of seeing Rich then our investment will be repaid a hundred times over.”

Aerobytes was established in 2001, supplies flight-safety software globally and has directly

supported the UK air-display industry since 2007 when it started sponsoring the much-loved and missed Vulcan XH558. Subsequently, Aerobytes sponsored several air-shows, was the title sponsor for The Blades Aerobatic Team, and The Blades Air Race Team and is now the title sponsor for the disabled flying charity Aerobility.

Rich Goodwin commented, “It’s great that Eddie and Aerobytes are sponsoring us this year, and I really understand the importance of their FDM product having spent the last 26 years being monitored by it on the flight deck of the Boeing 757. It delivers ever-increasing flight safety and risk mitigation to the commercial Aviation sector.”

The 2024 season is looking to be the busiest yet for Rich Goodwin Airshows with numerous

displays around the UK as well as France, Belgium and Poland.

Rich Goodwin, is an ex-RAF Tornado and commercial Boeing 767 pilot who has competed with the British Aerobatic Association. He owns two highly modified Pitts Special stunt planes, flying stunning aerobatic displays at airshows and events throughout the UK and Europe. Based at Gloucestershire Airport he also focuses on innovation and STEM within aviation to inspire the next generation. He's known as the pilot who draws smiles in the sky, gaining national media coverage for his efforts!

Aerobytes are a world-leading provider of automated and adaptive Flight Data Monitoring and

Flight Operational Quality Assurance.  In layman’s terms, they make flying safer and more efficient by using aircraft usage data to detect potential training issues for pilots, predict failures before they happen and reduce fuel burn.
