该届航展是日本的第9届航展,于2月15～19日在东京附近的幕张日本会议中心举行。本刊记者作为首次以中国航空工业总公司名义出国参展的参观团成员,参观了航展,并在其后参观了日本航宇技术研究所和4家飞机制造厂家。本届航展参展厂商共283家,其中包括来自22个国家的137个外国厂家。纵观这届航展,我们的主要印象是:1)本届航展的外国厂商只是陪衬,主要是向观众、特别是日本本国观众显示日本航空航天工业的重大进展与实力;2)众多的日本与国外合作的重大项目(如与美联合研制的FS-X战斗机和联合生产波音777部件等),强烈显示出日本要依靠自己的财力,借助于欧美的技术,夺取亚洲地区航空航天工业领导地位的决心;3)过去航展中不很起眼的机场和航空公司在本届航展中十分突出,显示了航空运输业在日本航空界越来越起到举足轻重的地位;4)直升机在本届航展中成了机型展出中的主角,几乎日本全行业都在涉足直升机,似乎大有用直升机作为日本拥挤交通中的主要 The air show is Japan’s 9th airshow, held in February 15-19 at the Makuhari Japan Convention Center near Tokyo. As the first member of the delegation to go abroad for the exhibition on behalf of China National Aviation Industry Corporation, the reporter visited the air show and later visited Japan Aerospace Technology Research Institute and four aircraft manufacturers. The current air show exhibitors a total of 283, including from 137 countries in 22 countries, foreign manufacturers. Looking at this airshow, our main impressions are: 1) The foreign exhibitors at this air show are just a foil to show the major progress and strength of Japan’s aerospace industry to the audience, especially to Japan’s domestic audience; 2) Major projects Japan has engaged with other countries (such as the FS-X fighter jointly developed with the United States and the co-production of Boeing 777 components, etc.) strongly demonstrate Japan’s reliance on its own financial resources and the leadership of the aerospace industry in Asia through its technology in Europe and the United States Position determination; 3) airports and airlines that were not prominent at past air show are very prominent at this air show, showing that air transport industry is playing a more and more important role in Japan’s aviation industry; 4) helicopters in this Air Show has become the protagonist in the model exhibition, almost all industries in Japan are involved in helicopters, it seems useful helicopters as the main Japanese traffic congestion
