This year the balance moves closer to 50\/50. Chief executive Gareth Rogers puts it down to geopolitics: with tensions high, defence firms have rediscovered the value of a shop window. Companies from Russia and Iran remain barred under UK government restrictions.<\/p><p>The international flavour is stronger than ever. Some 64 percent of exhibitors come from outside the UK, spread across 28 national pavilions, and 22 percent are appearing at Farnborough for the first time &mdash; many of them not aircraft-makers at all, but firms working in artificial intelligence, emerging technology and aviation finance.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:18px 22px;margin:20px 0;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7\"><em>&ldquo;Exhibition space has sold out twice over, with unprecedented industry demand from a wide range of aerospace sectors.&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\">&mdash; Gareth Rogers, CEO, Farnborough International<\/div><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The flying display<\/h2><p>The star of the flying programme is the U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II demonstration, billed as its only public display in Europe this year.

Expect the big primes to spend the week jockeying for orders, partners and headlines.<\/p><p>The final day, July 24, belongs to families: a STEM-focused programme, a careers hub and an enhanced flying display, with around 45,000 visitors expected and free entry for everyone under 21. For five days, the future of flight parks on one Hampshire runway.
