BEGINNING TO challenge the might of the traditional Paris and Farnborough air shows, the Dubai event is attracting increasing numbers of civilian and military exhibitors from more countries every time it opens its gates and the recent event was no exception. Another aspect starting to become more dominant is the fact that whereas previously the Dubai show was more aimed at business aviation, now airliner manufacturers are starting to gain more of the spotlight<\/span><\/p>\n

The Boeing Company has been a successful show across their businesses, and visitors have had a lot to see: their 787-10 Dreamliner, fly Dubai\u2019s 737 MAX, the popular CST-100 Starliner spacecraft simulator, AH-46 Apache and CH-47 Chinook helicopters, an MV-22 Osprey and a pair of F-15 multi-role fighters<\/span><\/p>\n

Although still predominately civilian based, the military influence is also gaining momentum, an example being the exhibition by South African defense manufacturing giant, Denel, which used the show to not only promote its manufacturing expertise, but also <\/span>reintroduce its Rooivalk attack helicopter<\/span><\/p>\n
