2017 Paris Air Show

Airbus plans major presence at Paris Air Show 2017

 

Experience the first public flying appearance of the A321neo and A350-1000;
Journey into the future in 3D at the Airbus Digital Exhibition centre;
Virtually fly an A400M or interactively explore an “Airspace” cabin in 3D.
2 JUNE 2017 PRESS RELEASE
At the Paris Air Show, which runs from 19th to 25th June 2017, Airbus will showcase its wide range of innovative technologies, products and services, from market-leading commercial and military aircraft to helicopters and space systems. In addition, there will be a new Digital Exhibition zone at the Airbus pavilion (located at the end of Chalet Row A), where traditional mock-ups give way to the latest digital immersive and interactive display technologies to convey an improved experience of Airbus’ products and services, in life-like virtual reality scenarios.
In the static display areas, visitors will see a plethora of Airbus’ real operational and development aircraft. Notably, this year’s show will be the first time that Airbus showcases publicly in the flying display its new A321neo and also the latest member of the A350 XWB family – the A350-1000. Both of these new models are currently well into their certification flight testing phases. The flagship A380 will also feature in both the static and flying displays.
Meanwhile Airbus Defence and Space’s exhibits will include the A400M, the C295 and the Eurofighter Typhoon. At the other end of the size scale, but every bit as cutting-edge, will be a collection of unmanned air systems including the “Harfang”, the DVF 2000 VT Aliaca, the DVF 2000 ER Arrano, and the Quadcruiser. In the space perimeter will be a comprehensive portfolio of satellites, highlighting recent successes such as the first all-electric satellite in the three-tonne class, EUTELSAT 172B, or PerúSAT-1, which was delivered in only 24 months and hence set a new benchmark in terms of delivery time. Guests to the Airbus pavilion will also have the opportunity to experience a virtual reality visit to the International Space Station ISS, and see how with ‘Space Tug’, Airbus is getting ready to revolutionise the space business through ‘on-orbit’ services.
Airbus Helicopters’ line-up on the static display includes the H130, the H135 equipped with the Helionix digital avionics suit, the H145M fitted out with HForce and a Tiger helicopter from the French army which will also perform flight demos during the show. Show-goers will be able to discover at first-hand Airbus Helicopters’ innovative solutions for preparing the future of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) with a mock-up of its new high-speed demonstrator at the Clean Sky booth. The future of unmanned flight is a key element in development with, on the military side, the VSR700 mock-up on the static display, and on the civil side a mock-up of CityAirbus, the “urban air mobility” solution for congested cities, at the Paris Air Lab booth.
As well as exploring all this latest hardware ‘up close’, or from afar as they perform their impressive air displays, visitors to our new “Digital Exhibition” concept area will be able to interactively immerse themselves in the fine details of every facet in Airbus’ group-wide activities – spanning not only Commercial Aircraft, Defence and Space, Helicopters, Services, but also other areas such as future research, the extended innovation ecosystem, electrification, “urban air mobility”, the Airbus Foundation as well as strengths in our workforce diversity. Moreover, with special VR headsets, guests will be able to fly-through the International Space Station, experience a H175 helicopter search-and-rescue mission, sit inside the cockpit of an A400M as it takes off from rough terrain, or explore the latest “Airspace” cabin interior innovations. In addition to hosting these immersive VR scenarios, the Exhibition will also feature a unique “HoloLens” zone which projects dynamic 3D holographic models – such as the ‘ExoMars’ Rover traversing a Martian landscape.
Airbus, which plans to recruit nearly 3,000 people in 2017, will be present throughout the week at the “Avion des Métiers” and “Forum Emploi Formation” areas dedicated to careers, training and employment in the aerospace industry. Airbus will also demonstrate its commitment to diversity and inclusion in the industry through meetings and conferences. In addition, the company will formalise several partnerships with research centres, schools and universities to ensure that in the coming years, industrial and academic requirements converge, and provide the skills which it needs to continuously innovate.

Indonesian budget carrier Lion Air may be an inaugural customer for a new Boeing Co (BA.N) plane that will become the largest member of its 737 medium-haul jet family, expected to be launched at the Paris Airshow, three people familiar with the plans said.

Looking forward to seeing the mighty 380 with winglets sharklets or whatever they choose to call it in the future.

Was there yesterday. 36degrees hot. Tarmac temperature even higher for sure. Even in my linen suit and tie I almost fainted from the heat.

 

Interesting to see the new winglets on the A380.

When A321 neo started flying I thought it was the A330 neo.

A350-1000 looks nice in the air, but on the ground the 787-10 looks a lot more impressive.

The 737 Max also looks great.

 

Unfortunately I did not have much time. Day trip, so much time wasted going through securit, and very hot weather....

Ah, exactly what MH said they wanted few months back.

Well, at that time, MH were reluctant to settle for the Max 9 and they did not want the A321 to complicate the narrow body fleet matrix.

 

I note that at the PAS, many of the Max 10 orders were converted from the Max 8 - it would seem that many airlines actually ordered the Max 8 even though it was smaller than what they needed. The Max 9 was too risky to order, so they settled for the Max 8. Now that the Max 10 is available with far superior economics to the Max 9, many airlines who ordered the Max 8 are now converting.

 

Very interesting!

Good for airlines that truly needs a widebody refresh to wait...

 

Yes, that is why PB is in no hurry to place the order for 35-40 new A330Neos. He will wait until he gets his target price!

Why order A320CEO's and not NEO's?

 

To me it's like ordering the previous model of a car.

 

If their coming off the same production line, can't they just be built to NEO spec?

They are looking for quick delivery - there are no near term NEO slots left. Airbus is also offering good prices for end of the line CEOs.

 

The NEO is only more economic on longer sectors (IIRC, above 2,000 nm) because it is heavier and its engines have more drag.

No order of the MAX10 from Lion Group yet?

If 2,000 nm or 4 hours flight time is the tipping point, CEO should continue to outsell neo, or neo shouldn't be developed.

There are no official numbers, but I think that the 2,000nm number was quoted to mean that fuel burn advantage is at its greatest. It does not mean that there are no fuel savings for shorter stage lengths.

 

The CEO is still selling steadily right now for a number of reasons. Availability is one of them.

688 Airbus aircraft, worth 90billion! Tony Fernandes, this is crazy!

I did some research into AirAsia Group order:
592- A320 family (100 A321neo firm order, 264 A320neo firm order, 228 A320ceo*)
66- A330neo
24- A330ceo (factory fresh)
6- A330ceo (leased from AerCap)
Total= 688 aircraft
*A320ceo includes factory fresh, third party leased aircraft and used aircraft from secondary market.
