Last week, along with Giovanni Maduli, I attended the Gate XXI trade fair and exhibition, held at Rome Urbe airport. Gate XXI is the first International exhibition organized in Italy dealing with the aerospace industry, “from ultralight aircraft to satellite development”. This year’s edition focused on the airport sector: from handling systems to baggage processing from ATC to security access, from the Passenger Line to Cargo Management. Actually, there wasn’t much to see: airport, aerospace and satellite equipment, technologies and services, airplanes, helicopters and ultralight aircraft were on display on the apron in front of the Corpo Forestale dello Stato hangar. Noteworthy, a Canadair CL-415, a private-held SF-260, a Storch, a Stearman, a Diamond, a DF2000 ULM with the Protezione Civile markings and a MustFly Cessna C-510 Mustang (EI-SFD).
Here are some of the picture of the Gate XXI (both display area and exhibit booths).
