ONE ENGINE. ONE SET OF TOOLS. ONE HUGE SAVING.

It pays to be single-minded when you’re choosing aircraft engines. Only CFM™ have common engine hardware for each of the two leading narrowbody families. It means you can carry fewer spare engines, spare parts and sets of tools, expect fewer shop visits, and spend many fewer hours training mechanics. Over a typical 10 year period of operation, an airline can save up to $3 million per aircraft - providing, of course, the engine is one of ours. Just go to www.cfm56.com

Currently 114 aircraft have been delivered. Upgrade management philosophy is to combine Eurofighter Typhoon capability upgrades with routine scheduled maintenance to enhance over- all fleet availability. The first non-Block 5 aircraft to be brought to FOC standard is BS021, the 21st single seater of UK production.

20 / February 7, 2007 / SP’s ShowNews Air, ground, sea. Embraer’s ISR Systems leave no space for anyone to get into your country undetected.

Air, ground, sea. No matter what kind of borders you have, Embraer’s ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) Systems keep them airtight. Featuring three of the world’s most advanced defense aircraft - the EMB 145 AEW&C, which controls air space, the EMB 145 RS/AGS, controlling the ground, and the P-99, which controls the sea - these systems provide all the necessary intelligence to maintain your country’s most precious asset - its sovereignty. They represent the perfect synthesis of Embraer’s ERJ 145 platform, proven to be both economical and reliable, and a new generation of radar systems that transmit data in real time. Their short response times and ability to reach high altitudes fast, their wide geographic coverage and extremely low noise levels provide unparalleled mission efficiency. And the crew works in a performance-enhancing environment featuring a seamless man-machine interface. With all this, plus their affordable cost, it’s no wonder Embraer’s Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems are now in use throughout Latin America and in Europe.

Embraer’s ISR Systems. There’s no escape.

The MiG-35 was presented to the Russia’s top brass on January 9th 2007 and the first public dem- onstration of the aircraft took place at the Yelahanka on February 6th, just the day before the Aero India.
