W ith 2,300 international exhibitors, 150,000 trade visitors, 30 national pavilions and almost 300 official delegations, the Paris Air Show is still the biggest show of its kind and a must-attend event for all professionals working in the aeronautics and space sector. So it was a shame to see the shambolic way the check-in process was organised. For obvious reasons, security checks were more pronounced at this year’s show especially for visitors carrying laptops and other equipment and this was inevitably a large number of people. The long queues led to hundreds of visitors exposed to scorching temperatures while waiting for their equipment to be scanned leading to several people feeling unwell. Paris in June, is either rainy or hot and organisers should have anticipated long queues amid extra security and temporary shelters should have been put in place along the path of the queueing areas. Lessons to learn for next time, hopefully. Check-in chaos aside, and once inside, the traditional aircraft OEMs, space adventurers, software developers, and futuristic concepts were all battling for attention at the show. And speaking of future concepts, of particular interest to me was the unveiling of the completed design of the XB-1 Supersonic Demonstrator, the subscale prototype of the Boom supersonic passenger airliner. When it flies next year, the XB-1 will be the world’s fastest civil aircraft, and it will demonstrate in flight the key technologies for mainstream supersonic travel. It remains to be seen if the project will ever take off but its still one to watch!. In this Paris special edition, or cover story shines the spotlight on some of the key collaborations within the supply chain announced at the show and how the service and support business is growing at the OEMs. Enjoy the read!
