, which has just come to an end, has a transaction volume of US$39.8 billion. So what are the well-known air show in the world? Which of our Zhuhai Air Show can rank among the top five?
1. Paris Air Show, the well-deserved world's number one air show. If you ask why the French could win the position of the First Air Show, we have to say from two aspects: First, the Paris Air Show started in 1909 and was the first air show in the world. At that time, Paris was the center of Europe, and even the center of the world. Countless aviation talents gathered here, such as the aviation pioneers Adale and Dumont, who lived here for a long time. In addition, France's aviation industry is also very developed. The French-led Airbus and the United States' Boeing are the two major giants of civil aviation. The largest assembly plant of Airbus is in Toulouse in France. In terms of military aircraft, the famous Dassault , the Mirage series fighter and Rafale fighter developed by it are at the top of the world, and Dassault is also unique in aviation design software, and even the Americans have to use its software. In addition, since France has always followed the independent national policy, both European and American countries, Russia and we are willing to show our style at the Paris Air Show. The number of exhibitors and transaction amounts of each Paris Air Show are the barometer of global aerospace.
2. London Vandenberg Air Show, British and French have always been unique, and this is still the case in air show. London Air Show has always wanted to leverage the position of the Paris Air Show, and it belongs to the position of one. It was founded very early and began in 1920. The signing amount of the last London Air Show was as high as US$124 billion, and our Zhuhai Air Show had a lot of room for effort and these two super air shows. Everyone knows that the British Rolls-Royce car is a top luxury car, but Rolls-Royce has a more reputable name in the military industry. Rolls-Royce Aircraft Corporation is a top-notch industry in aviation engines, marine engines and aviation. From A320 to Boeing 787, they all use Rolls-Royce products. But now Rolls-Royce's cars are completely separated from AVIC , but they are just sharing the brand. The prosperity of the London Air Show is also closely related to the development of British aviation industry.
3. Moscow Air Show, as a major aviation power in the world, it is normal for the Russians to have an influential air show. Its Su-27 fighter and MiG series fighter are a big deal worldwide. Although their Tupolev aircraft is becoming increasingly rare on international routes, Tupolev Design Bureau and Ileushen Design Bureau are still giants in the Russian aviation field, and Putin's landline aircraft still uses Il-96. As the Russian-Ukrainian conflict continues, the future prospects of the Moscow Air Show are worrying and are likely to be surpassed by fourth place.
4. Zhuhai Air Show, it was born in 1996. Its first transaction amount was only 2 billion US dollars. After just over twenty years of development, Zhuhai Air Show has now ranked fourth in the world and has great hope to surpass the Moscow Air Show and be called third. The best result of the Zhuhai Air Show is the 11th session in 2016, with a transaction amount of US$40 billion. As our country's national strength continues to strengthen, our air show level and number of participating manufacturers will continue to grow. For example, at the 14th Air Show just now, we saw many Middle East uncles wearing headscarves come to negotiate, and they will be important customers in our future. The strength of the United States is continuing to decline, while the polar bears are deeply trapped in the quagmire. Old Europe lacks momentum, and only China can fill their defense vacancy. Now the only ones in the world that can develop two fifth-generation fighter , the only ones in the world that can develop fifth-generation fighter . The Russian Su-57 has not been installed yet. The always proud Frenchman has also given up on fifth-generation fighter . So, who else can the rich people in the Middle East consider besides the American F35?
5. Singapore Air Show, its transaction volume reached US$32 billion in the last session, which is on the same order of magnitude as our Zhuhai Air Show.However, since there is no national aviation strength behind the Singapore Air Show, their ceiling is obvious, and its development potential will never be able to catch up with us.
In addition, the Berlin Air Show in Germany and the Dubai Air Show in the Middle East are all eyeing it, but their development path is similar to the Singapore Air Show. The nature of the transaction is the key, and the support of national aviation strength is lacking. China, Britain, France and Russia are all developing better because of the development of their own aviation industries.
As for why Americans are not famous for their air show? It doesn't need it, like the Paris Air Show and the London Air Show, it's no different from doing it at home. Even if Boeing's powerful strength does not hold an air show, the whole world will have to wait to pay for the plane. As for aviation military products, the US military’s best display on the global battlefield. What air show is needed?
