The highly anticipated Farnborough International Airshow, set to take place from July 22nd to 26th, has unveiled the first wave of aircraft for 2024. This biennial event is a significant occasion in the aviation industry, attracting major planemakers eager to showcase their latest innovations both on the ground and in the air.

Airbus, the European aerospace giant, leads the initial announcements with an impressive lineup. This year's roster includes commercial aircraft such as Air India's A350-900, the A220-300, the A321XLR, and the A330-900. On the military front, Airbus will display the A400M transport plane, along with drones like the Aliaca and Capa-X. Additionally, Airbus will feature its H135M and H160 helicopters, ensuring a comprehensive representation of its capabilities.

Boeing, Airbus' main competitor, has a more modest showing in this first wave. Currently, Qatar Airways' Boeing 787-9 is the only listed aircraft, accompanied by a Gulfstream G700 private jet, adding a touch of luxury to the event. More announcements from Boeing are expected as the airshow approaches.

Brazilian manufacturer Embraer will also participate, presenting both commercial and military aircraft. Their lineup includes the E195-E2 and E-Jet freighter for commercial purposes, and the KC-390 transport plane and Super Tucano attack aircraft on the military side. ATR will showcase the 72-600 and 72-600F regional aircraft.

In the realm of light aircraft, Diamond is set to display the DA-62 and Dart 750 models. Helicopter enthusiasts can look forward to Helioperations' AW139 and Sea King, as well as the Lockheed Martin UH-60M Black Hawk. Turkish Aerospace will feature the Hürjet military trainer and Gökbey, while Textron's King Air 260C rounds out the first wave of aircraft.

The Farnborough International Airshow promises to be a significant event for aviation enthusiasts and industry professionals alike, offering a glimpse into the latest advancements and future trends in aviation.
