Love it or dread it, the Farnborough air show is back, for what will be the most important aerospace event of 2022, running from 18-22 July.
Our preview issue reveals what to expect, and assesses the UK’s progress towards a goal of meeting net zero carbon emission targets. We review Rolls-Royce’s latest technologies, look at modular jet designer Aeralis’s “best of British” approach, and see how BAE Systems and Spirit AeroSystems UK have fared through the health crisis and Brexit.
Plus, we focus on activities at Airbus and Boeing, as the “big two” strive to restore past stability, and explore how the major engine manufacturers are preparing for the future.
Elsewhere this issue, we cover the latest crisis to hit NH Industries’ NH90, hear Connect Airlines’ service ambitions, and look back at May’s EBACE business aviation show.

As the UK’s largest defence company, BAE Systems is leading the way in developing next-generation technologies – and closer relations with international partners.
New regulatory requirements and development of a supplemental angle-of-attack (AOA) system continue to keep Boeing from making faster progress in achieving certification of its 737 Max 7 and Max 10.
Norway has warned the partner companies in the NH Industries (NHI) consortium that they essentially risk being barred from future tenders if they fail to meet the country’s demands for a NKr5 billion ($500 million) refund related to its underperforming NH90 helicopters.
US start-up Connect Airlines is banking on the efficiency of turboprops and an independent business model to help it carve a niche in the US air travel market.
Launch of Bombardier’s ultra-long-range Global 8000 was highlight of EBACE show’s return.

Back following a four-year wait after pandemic-linked restrictions thwarted its 2020 edition, the Farnborough air show is the most eagerly-awaited aerospace event of the year. We preview what are certain to be some of its biggest topics.
Normally biennial, the Farnborough air show is taking place in mid-July for the first time since 2018 – and its chief executive insists the post-pandemic version has moved with the times.
For a previously high-flying sector still recovering from the pandemic, gaining the investment needed to fund a zero-emission future will be key.
Attention may be shifting towards zero-emission technologies to power a future class of airliners, but the gas turbine remains key to propelling Rolls-Royce’s business recovery.
Start-up military jet developer Aeralis is approaching a key design milestone as interest soars in its innovative modular family of products.
Airbus is plotting a major recovery to its operations as the pandemic effect lessens, with transformed and expanded final assembly lines due to deliver up to 75 narrowbodies per month.
Boeing has a broad raft of commercial programme challenges to overcome, while also calculating when to launch its next major airliner development effort.
Boeing’s defence arm had a profitable 2021, but is racking up billions in cost overruns without the safety net of commercial jet sales.
The commercial engine manufacturers are just two years into what will undoubtedly be a remarkable decade of market turmoil, corporate flux, and intense spell of technology hunting.
As the UK’s largest defence company, BAE Systems is leading the way in developing next-generation technologies – and closer relations with international partners.
Northern Ireland’s largest manufacturing business – once Short Brothers – is bouncing back after the pandemic under new ownership, and with big ambitions for growth.
As the first woman to command the USA’s largest Air National Guard unit, Brigadier General Denise Donnell wants to use her position to inspire anyone to follow their aviation dream
The lighter side of Flight International.
Many love it and probably as many others loathe it, but there is no doubt that the Farnborough air show – returning after a pandemic-enforced four-year break – remains among the aerospace industry’s marquee events.
