Grant McHerron and Nigel Pittaway discuss their views on day three of the Singapore Airshow 2026, the final trade day and their last day attending the show. They discuss some of the highlights of the flying display and also note that the day had many briefings, general discussions and one-on-one sessions with senior vendor staff.
Airbus provided briefings on their H-160 helicopter and also on their H-Teaming system for manned/unmanned teaming, both of which will feature in upcoming ADM articles. Boeing provided a briefing on the upcoming version 6.5 of the Apache's onboard software system which includes a Counter-UAS capability. Meanwhile, in addition to other content being recorded, Grant caught up with reps from Horizon Air to discuss their hybrid powered vertical and conventional take-off/landing aircraft.
A major component of attending shows such as this is reinforcing and consolidating contacts, making new connections, and also setting up future opportunities. This was certainly the case in Singapore and watch for detailed reports in future issues of the magazine and on the website.
