Last year, we introduced the SnF Innovation Preview in which 25 companies introduced over 30 new planes, products, engines, accessories, and more… in other words… a LOT of news.
Rotax previewed the powerful 916iS, CubCrafters showcased the Carbon Cub UL, Bose introduced the A30, Aerox revealed the Boomula… and so much more. This year, we went beyond that... way beyond all that, with a larger selection of news announcements that covered ALL aspects of sport, general and commercial aviation... all at the start of the 50th Annual SUN n FUN Aerospace Expo... the undisputed start to the aviation year.
This year was also a major news-breaker... especially with the announcement that the DeltaHawk Diesel engine folks were working with Piper Aircraft on an STC for the PA44 Seminole. It also hosted the first formal news about the planned 2025 Affordable Flying Expo... an event that is planned for the SnF Aerospace Expo campus so as to provide a powerful alternative to the failed Sebring and DeLand sport aviation fly-ins. The Junkers A50 Heritage was introduced. Scalewings profiled their SW-51 -- now equipped with a Rotax 916... and so much more.
The effort was an extensive one... made possible by ANN's outstanding eMedia team, especially the efforts of Nathan Cremisino, Holland Lee, Masako Campbell, Jim Soyk, and Patrick Bottinelli... in partnership with members of the SUN 'n FUN multimedia team. And when it was all over, the kind folks from the WACO KItchen provided a VERY tasty lunch for the staff, Journalists, and Presenters that made it all happen. Thousands of people watched it from around the world and we are now pleased to offer each individual presentation, as a dedicated video, in a new YouTube Playlist containing each and every presentation.
We are working on other such programs at some of the largest aviation events in the world and have expectations that you'll see more of this kind of valuable programming in the future... we'll keep you apprised.
