Following the kick-off of Farnborough International Airshow 2022;

Harry Boneham, Aerospace Analyst at GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company, offers his view:

“The Farnborough International Airshow is likely to see a number of milestone announcements and updates as it is the biggest air show being held since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the defense space, it is likely that updates and information will be given regarding the UK’s Tempest fighter jet program by Team Tempest member BAE Systems.

“Organizers have chosen to tackle a number of key themes and challenges that the industry will face going forward, with the issue of sustainability in aerospace taking centre-stage. Major manufacturers such as Boeing will be displaying their advancements in this area, with Boeing unveiling its sustainable aviation data modelling tool, Cascade. Smaller firms such as Eviation, which produces electric-propulsion aircraft, will also be in attendance.”
