Farnborough International 2008

A look at prospects and trends for this year's largest global aerospace trade show.

Every two years, in mid July, a quiet Hampshire town in England becomes the central meeting place for the world's aerospace community.

Farnborough International has continued to grow and grow, ever since the U.K.'s national trade association, the Society of British Aerospace Companies, first set up its temporary exhibition campus in 1948 at what was then one of the most secret U.K. government research airfields.
