Aviation and aerospace engineering involves the design, development, and production of aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems and equipment, encompassing both military and commercial applications. 

In recent years, the industry has seen a focus on developing more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly aircraft, as well as the increasing use of drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for both military and civilian purposes. 

Advances in materials science and digital technologies have also been driving changes in the sector, leading to the development of lighter, more efficient aircraft and the increasing use of data analytics and artificial intelligence in aircraft design and operations. The industry continues to evolve and adapt to changing market demands and technological advancements. These developments can be explored by visiting the Aerospace & Space Forum at the show.
