Russian PAK-FA's new
generation fighter aircraft
is to enter the pre-serial
production stage in 2019.
The first series will feature
incomplete on-board
equipment and AL-41F
engines.
Demonstration of the serial F-35A Lightning II of the 34th Fighter Squadron (388th Fighter Wing)
from Hill AFB was an element of promotion of the aircraft, which had been reported as faulty in
many areas lately (issues with ejection seats, oxygen lines, ALIS software).
Diamond Aircraft presented new versions of the DA42 MPP (Multi-Purpose Platform) Terra
Star and the DA62 MPP. DA62 MPP features a modified nose of the fuselage, made suitable
for installation of an electro-optical observation system weighing up to 120 kg, and an under-
fuselage bay to fit a radar or electronic intelligence equipment weighing up to 55 kg.
