This year’s Farnborough International Airshow, which takes place from July 11 to 17, looks set to reignite the excitement in the aerospace industry that was muted for so long after the financial crisis that started in 2008. The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is expected (yet again) to be the star of the show, with the flight of the Airlander airship and events such as Boeing’s centenary celebration expected to give some buzz it hasn’t seen for years.
