The models covered a wide variety of aircraft and helicopters, including F-16C, F-5E and CH-47D examples. The museum also displayed a real J85 turbojet (GE-13) used by the F-5E Tiger II, and several pilots' flight suits from different fighters and helicopters.
The booths
Booths formed a large part of the show, with industry leaders displaying their latest technology: AES drones, Safran engines, Airbus civilian and military products, Lockheed Martin systems, and Baykar's unmanned systems (including Kizilelma and TB-3 variants).
Among the most eye-catching booths were Royal Air Maroc, UAE exhibitors (Calidus + Edge Group) and China (AVIC / Chengdu).
Royal Air Maroc created a museum-style booth with models including a 737 MAX 8 and a 747-400, plus a L-749A Constellation. The display included historical photographs and a small exhibit of cockpit instruments and a flight recorder.
The Emiratis made an open booth with both Calidus and Edge Group displaying their innovations over a white carpet. Edge Group displayed a variety of their weapons going from bombs and and firearms to loitering munitions for FPV recon and attack drones, the company event displayed their wide selection of missiles. Calidus on the other hand showed their new B-250 which is compatible with Edge's air launched weapons, the company also displayed an early version of the B-250 simulator which visitors get the chance to try. Calidus MCAV-014 was part of the static display while an MCAV-20 model was displayed on the booth.
