Farnborough International '74 REVIEW

Abstract

EMPHASISING the world‐wide nature of aerospace, Farnborough 1974 was particularly notable for the arrival of the record‐breaking transatlantic aircraft at the beginning of the show, first public appearances of two new British aircraft, and opportunities to see the A300B Airbus and the TriStar in the air and on the ground. Aircraft in the flying display also included Concorde and types new to Britain such as the F15 Eagle and the Alpha Jet as well as the VFW 614 and various helicopters. More than 400 companies from ten countries were represented in the largest display of equipment ever assembled here which covered every aspect of aircraft construction and operation. Also available was news of the Panavia flight‐test programme and the progress of other multi‐national ventures.
