27th Edition of AERO Friedrichshafen

Setting the Course for the New Decade

As the world’s leading trade show for general aviation, the 27th edition of AERO Friedrichshafen will, once again, help set the course for general aviation. AERO is a showcase of innovation and a place where opinion leaders and stakeholders of the industry meet. For us from the AERO organizing team, this is an obligation and a strong incentive to put even more effort into strengthening general aviation at social and political levels. Every year, 35,000 visitors from 60 countries (60 percent of whom hold a pilot’s license) are making AERO Friedrichshafen a global hot spot for the GA community. The trade show on the shores of Lake Constance is also a must-attend event for more than 600 journalists who come to Friedrichshafen to find out about the latest trends and developments in general aviation. The products and services presented by more than 700 exhibitors from 40 countries include over 320 aircraft and cover the entire range from gliders, ultralight and light aircraft to helicopters and even midsize business jets. The latest avionics trends, innovative propulsion technologies and pilot training options are also covered by the trade show. Not only is AERO Friedrichshafen the most important marketing and sales platform for manufacturers, it has also developed into an indispensable meeting place for OEMs from the supply chain and engineering sectors. If general aviation is your business, the show is a must-attend event! We look forward to welcoming you as an exhibitor to AERO Friedrichshafen in 2019.

AERO Conferences

AERO Conferences

Experts’ Network

With more than 300 workshops, symposia and presentations, the AERO Conferences are one of the key pillars of AERO Friedrichshafen and a perfect event for expanding the general aviation network. The AERO Conferences are the meeting place for the world’s most important representatives from aviation authorities, associations and manufacturers who make decisions on future developments and new industry standards.

The AERO Conferences program will be available from March 2019 at www.aero-expo.com (Supporting Program / AERO Conferences)

A quick and comprehensive overview of current trends in cockpit technology will be given in the Avionics Avenue special area, where leading avionics manufacturers will be presenting their latest products. The Headset Test Area and the Garmin Seminar Room are places which every aircraft owner must visit at AERO 2019. Advanced flight control, radar, flight management and communication systems are also on show in the Avionics Avenue special exhibition in Hall A6.

Engine Area

State-of-the-art propulsion technology will be on display in the Engine Area, thus demonstrating a change in the trend as far as conventional propulsion systems are concerned. There is a clear trend toward the development of highly efficient engines in terms of cost and fuel consumption. Whether it be piston, turbine, electric engines or maintenance of such systems, the Engine Area is attracting great interest among visitors. The topic of sustainable fuels is also becom ing increasingly important. This is where general aviation also has its part to play, for example by continuing its involvement in power-to-liquid development.

flight simulator area

Newcomers learned what it felt like to pilot a plane for the very first time, professional pilots were given the opportunity to improve their skills and to fly new aircraft models. The first edition of the Flight Simulator Area (FSA) was a great success right from the start. At AERO 2019, the FSA will be featuring even more flight simulators that are certified for training. Especially professional pilots will appreciate the expanded range of flight simulators for professional use. The professional segment will also be a key focus at the second Flight Simulator Conference.

Electric flight, unlike any other topic, is a subject of con-troversial discussion in the aviation community. Connected mobility linked with air taxis is also a highly topical issue. The next e-flight-expo will see an increasing mix of fixed-wing and vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. eVTOL will elevate the new mobility on ground to the third dimen-sion. Many renowned aircraft manufacturers as well as system providers such as Siemens are dealing intensively with the topic of electric flight. For the first time, there will be flying displays of eVTOL aircraft at the e-flight-expo at AERO 2019.

Helicopter Hangar

Helicopter Hangar

The Fascination of Helicopter Flight

Helicopters, the aviation work horses, were heavily represented at AERO 2018. In the Helicopter Hangar in Hall B5, Deutscher Hubschrauber Verband (DHV) presented an impressive number of helicopters with a large variety of mission profiles ranging from air rescue, aerial work, passenger transport and law enforcement missions to fun flying in an ultralight helicopter. The number of helicopters displayed at the AERO is growing every year. The Lake Constance region and the nearby Alps provide many opportunities for commercial and private operations.

Once again, Hall B5 will be the center of all helicopter activities at AERO 2019. Exhibitors appreciate the opportunity to use the helipad next to the exhibition hall. The Helicopter Forum offers an attractive conference program that covers all aspects of helicopter flight.

AERODrones / UAS Expo

Drones of the Future

The Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) segment at AERO Fried-richshafen continues to grow. The AERODrones special exhi-bition does not only present the current state of technical development, but also application-specific topics which in creas-ingly stimulate this growing market. The AERO is the perfect platform to promote the exchange of views and cooperation between the unmanned and manned aviation communities. Supported by UAV DACH and “Drohnenmagazin”, AERODrones will have an even stronger focus on application issues in 2019.

The FPV drone races are particularly intended to attract a younger target audience. It is not by chance that the “Be a Pilot” information booths are to be found next to the indoor FPV racing circuit. Many young people start their career as a pilot by flying drones or model planes.

Business jets

Time is a significant factor in many business activities. If you want to travel long distances quickly and at the same time relax in comfort, business jets are the best choice for your needs. AERO has become an important event for manufacturers of small and midsize business jets and their customers. The trade show is highly valued by aircraft owners who love to fly their jets by themselves. AERO Friedrichshafen perfectly combines everyday business with a passion for flight.

Ideally located between Friedrichshafen Airport and Messe Friedrichshafen’s exhibition halls, the Static Display area is an established meeting place for the business aviation community. The trade show’s central location at the heart of Europe and short distances between the airport and the exhibition site are making the AERO a perfect event for a day trip by plane.

Business Aviation will also be a strong focus at the AERO Conferences in 2019. Schedule and contents of the AERO Conferences will be available from March 2019 at www.aero-expo.com
