It was an airshow planned and prepared for during the worst of the past two years of economic downturn and yet Farnborough International 2010 ended up delivering gladly received evidence that a recovery is gathering momentum in the aerospace industry.

Total announced orders were close to the $40 billion mark by the time this report was filed, one-and-a-half days before the show ended. Organizers were hopeful that the remaining trading hours might well yield enough additional airshow dollars to get beyond the $46 billion tally that would make 2010 the second highest yield in the show’s long history.
