Farnborough International Airshow 2012

Farnborough International Airshow (FIA) is the largest truly global event of its kind. A platform for some 1,400 exhibitors from the aerospace, defence, space and security sectors to showcase and demonstrate aircraft, equipment and technologies, the show is specifically designed to facilitate tailor-made and unrivalled opportunities to meet, negotiate and announce business transactions.

Taking place every other year, Farnborough International Airshow 2010 was attended by over 120,000 trade visitors with exhibiting companies announcing order figures of US$47bn during the show.

Unmanned aerial and ground systems (UAV) are already widely used in the civil, defence and security sectors and the scope of their application is increasing all the time. The Unmanned Systems Showcase at Farnborough International Air show 2012 is a platform for international manufacturers and operators to exhibit and demonstrate their products.

Farnborough International Airshow 2010 launched the first ever UAS Indoor Flying area at a UK aerospace exhibition which proved to be one of the most popular features of the show, widely attended by trade visitors and delegations.

The Unmanned Systems Showcase returns in 2012 and will once again be located in the heart of one of the exhibition halls. This bespoke area which is set to expand in 2012 will also feature a purpose-built net for flying and ground systems demonstrations and an Advice Clinic providing information for Exhibitors and Visitors on accreditation, insurance and regulation compliance.
