For those who missed their chance to visit the Paris Air Show 2011 lately held at Le Bourget Airport (north Paris, France) or just for
those those who love all kinds of aircraft, we offer a huge collection
of photos taken during this breathtaking event.
The day before the opening. The just arrived Sukhoi Superjet 100 takes part in the Paris Air Show for the second time.
The new Boeing 747-8 is the aircraft of the new generation of the
Boeing 747 series with a longer fuselage, redesigned wings and improved
economic efficiency.
The 747-8 is the world's longest passenger aircraft which exceeded the
length of the Airbus A340-600 by almost a meter - 76.25 m.
The new design of the interior offers more room for hand luggage.
The main competitor of the Boeing, the Airbus, presented the two A-380. The first one was in the livery of Korean airlines.
And the second one was in the classical livery of the Airbus.
Just after the arrival to the airport, at the moment when it was going
to take place in the parking lot, it accidentally caught its wing on a
hangar. In the following picture you can see that the winglet has
already taken off and the wing is being intensively repaired. Three days
later, the A-380 was repaired and it even took part in demo flights..
The full-size mockup of the compartment of the MS-21.

After the briefing a group of journalists from various countries was taken for a ride in the Superjet.
A very famous aircraft photographer.

Everything is ready for the flight.
The view from the Superjet.
The An-158 is presented at Le Bourget for the first time. Last year it was shown at Farnborough.
The toilet at the entrance of the An-158 is quite difficult to find as it's hidden behind the round plate.
The An-158 is designed to carry 86 (12+74) passengers.
While it's raining outside, one can watch a movie in a warm compartment.
The cockpit of the Falcon2000.
A nice place for negotiations.
The interior of the Falcon7X is cheaper.
Every seat is provided with a sliding monitor, an ashtray, a cup holder and a socket.
Unfortunately, it was rainy during all the three days of the show.
The Bombardier introduced the new mockup of the cabin of the C-series.
Inside of it.
The button lifting the arm of a chair is not "under the hand" but
"under the elbow". The original solution, but probably not so
convenient...
