Hanover Show exhibition space is filling up MORE than 80 per cent of exhibition space at the Hanover Show (May 18-25) has been booked, report the organisers. The static area available for aircraft and helicopters has been increased and extended toward the airport terminal. Taxiing problems are said to have been overcome with the new arrangements. A grass area adjacent to the southern runway is reserved for helicopter use. Well over 70 business aircraft are firmly booked and these will be a highlight at the show. In 1981, West Germany's airports carried 20 per cent more passengers than previously. Commercial traffic was up 41 per cent and non-commercial traffic some 11 per cent. The organisers see this de velopment as confirming that "execu tive aircraft are a growing market". The German aircraft owners and pilots association will run a panel dis cussion under the heading "Pilots ask the Government". The event is ex pected to give pilots an opportunity to discuss current problems with officials from the, three main political parties, the transport ministry, the national air navigation services administration, the German air office, and the weather service. US stand at Farnborough is almost full SOME 95 per cent of all the space available within the American aero space industries joint exhibit at the Farnborough Show (September 5-12) has been sold. More than 20 com panies are taking part in the national stand, which is said to be the largest such joint venture at any industry trade show. The US Department of -•^Commerce in London is to provide personnel to handle enquiries and to provide general aerospace and avia tion information at the show. FLIGHT International, 2 January 1982 Bleeding bolts warn of fastener failure BLEE-BOLT INDICATORS (Units 28- 29, Vauxhall Works, Greg Street, Beddish, Stockport; telephone 061-477 2846) is now ready to manufacture and to supply its "bleeding bolt" flaw- detection system. Any stress-induced cracks in Blee-Bolt fasteners allow a fluorescent indicating dye to bleed to the surface. This is said to give an early warning of incipient failure. From the original bolts, the com pany has now developed a range of machine screws and fasteners. The detection technique can be applied to a variety of components, including rotating shafts, linkages, struts and rivets, the company claims. New de-icer system for turboprops A NEW de-icer system for turboprop- powered aircraft is announced by Bogerson Aircraft Controls (2223 S. Federal Avenue, Los Angeles, Cali fornia 90064; telephone [213] 477- 3526). The system has been designed specifically for the Saab-Fairchild SF-340 and variations could be adopted for other types, says presi dent Michael Bogerson. He cites size, weight, reliability, number of parts, and fuel consumption as areas where the system has advantages over similar existing equipment. Auto matic or manual operation of pneu matic boot system is available. Rockwell sales stabilise BOCKWELL INTERNATIONAL re ports net income of $292 million from sales worth some $7,000 million for its 1981 fiscal year. Comparable figures for the previous year are $280 million earnings from sales valued at $6,900 million.

Aero space earnings were derived princip ally from better performance, and from the sale of the general aviation division. Equipment prices to fall ?
