The Farnborough airshow is one of Europe's biggest showcases of the latest technology in commercial and military aircraft. Some of the biggest players in the industry, including Boeing and Airbus, come together to flog their new planes, as well as give the public a thrill with spectacular air demonstrations, including this performance from the superb Red Arrows.
I went along to the 2014 show to see what it was all about.
This is the Airbus E-Fan: a twin-engine plane that's entirely electric. It's 60kW engines have a flight time of around an hour and weighs only 500kg (1,100 pounds).
The E-Fan is designed for pilot training. We're a long way away from having fully electric airliners, but it's a step in the right direction.
One of the stars of the show was the Airbus A380. A goliath passenger jet, it's capable of seating over 500 people, making it the world's largest commercial plane.
The A380 took to the skies over the show. With no passengers, baggage or much fuel on board, the plane was light enough for the pilot to perform manoeuvres rather more extreme then they would do during a normal passenger flight.
Like the A380 passenger plane, the A400M was flown much more aggressively than it usually would, thanks to a lack of any passengers of equipment on board.
It's not particularly easy to take photos of planes when they're travelling at such speeds. I had the help of Canon's 400mm f/2.8 lens, which zooms in close to the plane, allowing you to get shots like this.
I thought this was breaking the sound barrier, but BAE Systems told me that this cloud bubble is caused by "low pressure forming over wings, causing water vapour to condense into a visible mass of liquid." So now you know.
This one has a ground-scanning camera bolted to the front, as well as what looks like a butterfly's proboscis. This allows it to refuel from other aircraft while in the air.
Boeing was excitedly showing off its 787-9 Dreamliner at the show. My excellent colleague Stephen Shankland got up close and personal with the plane earlier in the show.
My favourite thing on display is this all-terrain vehicle, which has a propeller on the back, allowing you to drive along with a parasail, taking off and gliding into the air when you happen to drive off a cliff.
