About 1,350 companies and organizations from 52 countries, including 59 Russian firms, will take part in the Farnborough-2010 Air Show, which opens near London on Monday.
The Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation said in a press release that 29 Russian companies will showcase about 250 military products, including combat aircraft, helicopters and air defense systems.
Among most prominent Russian exhibits are Su-35 Flanker and MiG-35 Fulcrum-F multirole fighters, the Su-32 fighter-bomber (an export version of the Su-34 Fullback aircraft) and MiG-29 Fulcrum combat aircraft.
Russia also plans to promote heavily its Superjet 100 medium-haul passenger aircraft developed by the Sukhoi design bureau in cooperation with U.S. and European aviation corporations, including Boeing, Snecma, Thales, Messier Dowty, Liebherr Aerospace and Honeywell.
The plane, which will make several demonstration flights during the Farnborough show, was first exhibited in 2009 at Le Bourget (France) and MAKS (Russia) air shows.
The Sukhoi aircraft maker plans to manufacture at least 700 Superjet 100s, and intends to sell 35% of them to North America, 25% to Europe, 10% to Latin America, and 7% to Russia and China.
Currently, Sukhoi has at least 122 firm orders for Superjet 100 airliners. The first aircraft are expected to be delivered to Armenia's national airline Armavia and Russia's flagship air carrier Aeroflot at the end of the year.
The company said last week it intended to conclude a contract with an unspecified South-East Asian air company on the delivery of 30 Superjet 100s.
Farnborough Air Show, one of the most preeminent global aviation events, will be held from July 19 - 25. The first five days of the show will be dedicated to concluding deals and the exhibition will then be open to the public over the weekend.
