Cutaways
Since the late 1920s,
Flight International has become
particularly well known for producing highly detailed aviation
illustrations, known as Flight Cutaways and Micro-cutaways.
According to Flight, the goal of the cutaways is to inform
aerospace professionals of developments in civil, defense aircraft
and engine programs, and in uncompromising detail, worldwide. The
Cutaways are a globally recognized product and benchmark for detail
and accuracy.
Within the
Flight
International archive are more than 1,100 military and
civil aircraft, space vehicles and aero-engines, ranging from the
Zeppelin to the
F/A-18 Super Hornet, and the
Wright Flyer to the
Airbus A380.
Flight International's
Senior Technical Artist is Giuseppe "Joe" Picarella, with
additional work from Tim Hall.
Flight Daily News
Representing
Flight International during major aerospace
conventions and air shows is the
Flight Daily News.
This daily
publication covers the world's four main air shows: the Farnborough Airshow, the Paris Air Show
, Asian Aerospace,
and the Dubai Airshow, as well as
Middle East Business Aviation.
In 2007,
Flight Daily News was awarded the title of the
world’s best air show daily publication by the
Royal Aeronautical Society and
the
World Development Forum
for the third successive year - an honour held only by Flight Daily
News.
Flight Daily News's sister publication is the
Flight Evening
News. Launched at the 2004
National Business
Aviation Association (NBAA) convention in Las Vegas, it was a
new concept in air show daily newspapers. Traditionally, show
dailies have appeared in the morning, covering the happenings of
the previous day.
Flight Evening News published instead on
the same day.
Journalists cover stories from press conferences, the exhibition
floor and static display throughout the morning. The newspaper is
designed and printed in a matter of hours, and handed delegates
leaving the show late that afternoon.
Flight Evening News
is the only daily publication to follow this format, and it markets
the information it provides as "today's news today".
Flight Evening News can be found at NBAA, as well as its
European equivalent, the European Business Associations' Convention
and Exhibition (EBACE).
