AIRBUS: CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY ON DISPLAY
The Airbus stand was one of the most visited at the fair. On the rotary side, the company displayed its H125, H135, and the modern H160. All these aircraft are actively operating across Latin America in missions ranging from offshore work to medical emergencies in high-altitude mountain terrain.

The standout moment was the live demonstration of the Flexrotor, Airbus
Defence & Space’s VTOL unmanned aerial system. It takes off vertically and transitions mid-air to fixed-wing horizontal flight for long-endurance surveillance missions, with endurance exceeding 12 hours and a cruise speed of 140 km/h. Its applications range from maritime surveillance to wildfire prevention — a growing priority across the region. Also on display were the Aliaca, a new electric VTOL for tactical reconnaissance, and the SIRTAP, a high-performance UAS built for all-weather surveillance.
