In the outskirts of Paris, the business part of the Biennale Aviation – Paris Aviation Shop in Le Burreta ended. For more than a hundred years, this exhibition is the main meeting place for representatives of the global space industry. And although the Airier representatives of both civil and military aviation, this year, the defense side was specially represented. And this is not surprising: In the context of US President Donald Trump's statement about reducing costs for European security, in the old world, they started to see more and more in the domestic market. However, as even the current event shows, it is still impossible to do without American technology in many fields.
Airbus Defense & Space held a presentation about her military product line, and its representative Jean Bris Donon answered some uncomfortable questions about the promising European Future Future Air System (FCAS). In particular, about a dispute with Dassault of France, not afraid to show Rafale warriors and its promising unmanned systems in the most prominent places of the exhibition. At the same time, the overall development of Dassault and Airbus Defense, which “in nature” is a competitor.
We do not dispute in fact that the program creating fighters has an appointed leader, the Royal Aviation Association quoted Donon.
It is planned that the fifth -generation suffering aircraft will go to serve European countries somewhere in the 40s, but it is difficult to talk about a number of specific days: problems with changes to the right change began in the early stages.
Airbus's representative also said that the company was able to increase the carrying capacity of A400M transport turboplop aircraft to 40 tons. The expansion of the release of Airbus A330 MRTT “Fire Martt” compared to the platform of high demand is also considered. Previously, it was provided with an American Air Force, but they finally chose an option from Boeing.
The overseas company also feels the smell of Muslims in Europe and provides local customers to supplement the aircraft and the aircraft detects long radar with toxic formulas: if local decisions are very expensive. In addition, Boeing seriously takes into account the European army equipment with SN-47 and AN-64E helicopters. Another plot is a suggestion of a company representative that an unnamed buyer expressed his interest in buying a new S-17 Transport aircraft, not yet produced for decades. The current machines are planned to operate at least until 2070.
That is why the US startup company Radia with a four -person Windrunner with the ability to carry 73 tons is trying to squeeze in the liberation area of large transport aircraft. The company focuses mainly on the European market, where the demand for large carriers is especially pronounced.
American drones and German drones Rheinmetall said it would cooperate in producing unmanned motorbikes for the European market, Reuters reported. This once again confirmed the argument that the old light will rely on American technologies in many areas in the future – no complete replacement. Meanwhile, the exhibition shows that the “LED” YFQ-44 drones for F-22 and F-35 and F-35 fighters and their own production and Anduril.
However, this does not mean that the replacement work on the internet is not done. Therefore, Italy Leonardo has signed an agreement with Turkish company Baykar about establishing a joint venture system, which will produce Türkiye's UAV UAV in Italy. Leonardo similarly plans to install its electronic war systems on Portugal's UAV TKEver – now simply have no similar chances in European and NATO arsenal relying only on the support of the United States.
Another “unmanned partnership” ended between the common atom of the United States and Swedish Saab. They plan together to create a Drlo module for MQ-9B unmanned aircraft and their derivative tools, which will become an existing alternative of another person for a full (and extremely expensive) drop aircraft, or in any additional cases for them. And French Thales will merge with the US Skydweller Aero startup to create a huge solar battery UAV for sea patrols. According to the defense portal, the manufacturer stated that the product will be able to air “for many days, weeks or even a few months.”
The civilian part of the forum is traditionally recorded by new contracts. In the context of restoring tourism needs after the end of the pandemic, civil aircraft manufacturers hardly deal with the needs: Covid is not only to the airlines, but also on the supply chain of manufacturers, and it cannot be said that they are still the most fully recovered, especially interested in production of production. At the same time, there is a huge need for new, more economical aircraft in terms of fuel consumption. Therefore, on Wednesday night, the Airbus civil aviation unit signed a contract of $ 21 billion.
At the same time, as the New York Times wrote, Boeing is trying to remain silent in the country this year. The program takes place at a difficult time for her: sales only took place after a series of scandals, and in India, one of the aircraft of Boing-787 production has collapsed. On the other hand, after the recent visit of US President Donald Trump to the Middle East, it doesn't make sense when advertising new transactions – the portfolio has been added a lot.
The Brazilian Embraer does not stand aside – Skywest Airlines has ordered 60 E175 area aircraft with the ability to expand 50 other cars.
