The ILA Berlin Air Show, which wrapped up yesterday, featured 1,243 exhibitors from 46 countries.
On display was the newest aviation technology, from high-speed helicopters, huge passenger jets, to the unmanned drones that will play a major role in future military engagements.
But for the 125,000 visitors, the real highlights were the test flights of brand new aircraft and spectacular demonstrations by some of the world's best pilots.
The air show's opening marked the first event held at the newly built Berlin ExpoCenter Airport.
Europe's most powerful woman, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, officially opened the air show.
Test pilot Herve Jammayrac and test engineer Dominique Fournier flew the Eurocopter X3, a high-speed helicopter concept with no tail rotor.
