Presenting with pride
MGM COMPRO had the honor to be a part of the whole thing. Topics of our presentations were obvious – we believe in electric aviation using our complex propulsion systems in various applications such as e-VTOLs, LSA, drones and others.
Paris’ audience was very welcoming and receptive to messages of us and our partners. It is very interesting to see electric propulsion becoming one of the primary topics of aviation worldwide and this year’s Paris Air Show really proved that.
It was our honor and pleasure to witness this event and we really look forward to next venues.
