AVIONICS INTELLIGENCE VIDEO BLOG: 5 July 2011. Last month's Paris Air Show at Le Bourget, France had its share of new airplane orders but it also had future cockpit designs, F-35 software developments, journalist test flights, and more. John McHale's Avionics Intelligence Video Blog touches on these subjects and gives perspective on defense electronics supplier gripes such as International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) headaches.
THE MIL & AERO VIDEO BLOG, 28 June 2011. Military & Aerospace Electronics and Avionics Intelligence combined last week to produce 81 stories covering the most relevant news from the Paris Air Show for the electronics, avionics, and electro-optics industries. The effort has left the staffs that produced these stories feeling ... well, a little ragged.
PARIS, 25 June 2011. Eurofighter and Euroradar consortia officials announced at the Paris Air Show this week that they have agreed to continue full scale development program of the next generation E-Scan radar with an entry into service targeted for 2015. Supported by the Eurofighter partner nations -- the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany and Spain -- Eurofighter GmbH and Euroradar engineers began full scale development of the new CAPTOR-E radar last year.
FORT WORTH, Texas, 25 June 2011. Members of the Norwegian parliament gave approval for funding of four F-35 Lightning II training jets from Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] during the Paris Air Show this week. These F35s will bridge the gap between Norway's older F-16s, which are phased out by 2023.
PARIS AIR SHOW BLOG, 24 June 2011. The Paris Air Show opened to the French public today who were fortunate enough to get views of the Airbus A380 in flight -- after a small delay earlier in the week. They also poured into the various exhibition halls with mothers clutching babies while checking out huge jet engines -- not an image you see every day. 
PARIS, 24 June 2011. Canadian commercial jet manufacturer Bombardier Aerospace on Montreal inked a last-minute deal today at the Paris Air Show to provide 10 of the company's CS100 jetliners to a first-time European buyer that does not want to be identified. The deal brings Bombardier aircraft sales at the 2011 Paris Air Show to 46 firm orders and purchase rights on another 26 aircraft. Friday's deal for 10 CS100 jetliners is worth about $628 million, Bombardier officials say. The CS100 seats 110 to 125 passengers, and has a maximum range of more than 4,000 nautical miles.
PARIS AIR SHOW BLOG, 24 June 2011. I've seen the Honeywell Primus avionics system many times at trade shows, but yesterday at the Paris Air Show I had my first in-flight demonstration from the right-hand seat of FLIR Systems' Pilatus PC12 turbo-prop aircraft courtesy of the pilot -- Ethan Lewis -- and fellow pilot and FLIR President Bill Sundermeier, who's seat I took. Sundermeier only had one rule for me: "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!"
PARIS, 24 June 2011. As business transactions wind up this week at the 2011 Paris Air Show in LeBourget, France, European aircraft manufacturer Airbus in Toulouse, France, set a record for commercial aircraft sales at any air show ever, winning business for 730 aircraft worth a total of $72.2 billion, Airbus officials say. The company's aircraft business announced at the show consists of firm purchase orders for 418 aircraft worth $44 billion, and memoranda of understanding for 312 worth $28.2 billion, company officials say.
PARIS AIR SHOW BLOG, 24 June 2011. Officials at FLIR Systems gave a press demonstration of their Star SAFIRE 380-high-definition (HD) electro-optical/infrared sensor at 17,000 feet above the French countryside in a Pilatus PC12 turbo prop aircraft during this week's Paris Air Show. The system toggled quickly between short-wave infrared (SWIR), infrared HD, and low-level light, fields of view during the demonstration.
