  • Short history of ILA Berlin.

It claims to be the world’s oldest air show, having been founded in 1909, and it is now one of the largest and most prominent aerospace trade exhibitions. According to the organisers, the Berlin Air Show drew 125,000 professional guests and 105,000 members of the general public in 2012, with 3,600 journalists from 65 nations also in attendance.

The format is comparable to that of the Paris Air Show in France and the Farnborough International Airshow in the United Kingdom, which are the two other major events on the European air show calendar. The Berlin event begins with three professional days that are closed to the general public, followed by three public days on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

  • Boeing Products. 

Boeing’s exhibit will highlight the 777X, 737 MAX and 777-8F, in addition to the EA-18G Growler, T-7A Advanced Pilot Training System, the Boeing Airpower Teaming System and Germany’s future maritime patrol aircraft, the P-8A Poseidon. The CH-47 Chinook, which was recently selected by the German Government for its STH Heavy-Lift Helicopter program, will additionally be highlighted at the show.

During the show, a Royal Air Force CH-47 Chinook will perform daily flight displays. The U.S. Department of Defense is expected to display several Boeing platforms, including the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter, CH-47 Chinook heavy-lift helicopter, P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft, and F-15 fighter jet.

  • Airbus Products, 

At the first major European airshow since 2019, Airbus will present a wide range of its cutting-edge products and services, demonstrating how it pioneers sustainable aerospace for a safe and united world.

Static and flight displays

On the static display, some of Airbus’ state-of-the-art aircraft, unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and helicopters will take centre stage: Visitors will be able to explore the A350-900 MSN 2 (Airspace Explorer) and the oversize cargo transporter BelugaXL. They will also get to see the multi-role tactical airlifter C295, a full-scale replica of Europe’s first large-scale military drone Eurodrone as well as Heron TP, Aliaca and DT25 UAS and a UAS ground control station. The static display will also feature state-of-the-art helicopters such as the H145M, H225, an NH90 replica and drones such as Luna NG or DT25  that were used in recent manned-unmanned teaming demonstrations.

Airbus military aircraft will also be in action on the German Luftwaffe display, both on ground (Eurofighter and A400M) and in the air (Eurofighter, A400M, A330 MRTT and Tornado).

Boeing has achieved a significant milestone by providing NASA with the second core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.

This crucial component, crafted at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF), is set to propel the Artemis II crew into lunar orbit, marking humanity’s return to deep space after a 50-year hiatus.

The monumental Boeing-built rocket stage, the largest element of the Artemis II mission, will embark on a journey aboard the Pegasus barge, traveling 900 miles to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

Upon arrival, it will be meticulously integrated with other essential Artemis II components, including the upper stage, solid rocket boosters, and NASA’s Orion spacecraft within the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building. This intricate integration process is a vital step toward the eagerly anticipated Artemis II launch, slated for 2025.

Boeing-built products helped land humankind on the moon in 1969, and we’re proud to continue that legacy through the Artemis generation,” remarked Dave Dutcher, vice president and program manager for Boeing’s SLS program. “Together, with NASA and our industry partners and suppliers, we are building the world’s most capable rocket and paving the way to deep space through America’s rocket factory in New Orleans.”

The delivery of Core Stage 2 marks a significant achievement in the evolution of the SLS rocket. Towering over 200 feet and powered by four RS-25 engines, this core stage, coupled with two solid-fueled booster rockets, will generate a staggering 8.8 million pounds of thrust. This immense power is crucial to launching Artemis II and future missions into the vast expanse of space.

The SLS rocket stands unparalleled in its capability to transport both crew and substantial cargo to the moon and beyond in a single launch. Its extraordinary capacity will facilitate the delivery of human-rated spacecraft, habitats, and scientific missions to destinations including the moon and Mars, ushering in a new era of space exploration.
