Had a chance yet to catch up with all the significant developments from the Dubai air show? Flight International's 22 November issue devotes most of its news section to a round-up and an analysis of the Middle East's biggest industry event, including our take on Qatar Airways' Akbar Al Baker's extraordinary outburst at Airbus, on the same day he ordered A320Neos and A380s; the UAE's attack on the Dassault Rafale, previous favourite in the country's fighter contest; plans for the Middle East's first helicopter programme and the latest on a Mach 4 supersonic business jet due to fly in 2021.

There is also a 12 page special on commercial space flight, which includes updates on programmes from Xcor and Virgin Galactic as well as NASA's commercial crew development programme (CCDev).
