AERO 2022, held last April at Messe Friedrichshafen in southern Germany, was an outstanding event with the General Aviation industry showing it’s alive, well and as innovative as ever. Lots of new ideas, some new aircraft, new powerplants, and a big emphasis on sustainability.
FLYER’s Around The Halls feature, compiled during the show, reveals much of that innovation and energy and it’s well worth looking back at what was on display. Flick through that article here.
