MAKS, Air show in the Russian Federation
MAKS is an international aerospace and aviation exhibition held in Zhukovsky where aircraft manufacturers, suppliers, and defense companies display their latest products. The event showcases prototypes, commercial airplanes, helicopters, and space technology at an active airfield.
MAKS was established in 1992 and has taken place every two years since its founding. The show became a stage for aviation companies and engineers to present advanced aircraft technology to the world.
MAKS serves as a stage for both Russiannational pride and international cooperation in space and aviation sectors.
The show takes place at Zhukovsky airfield and visitors should prepare for long walks since the grounds are large. The best experience comes on days with flight demonstrations when helicopters and aircraft are displayed in the air.
The airfield setting allows viewers to watch aircraft in full operation as pilots perform aerobatic maneuvers and extreme flying moves. These live performances show how modern planes actually work in practice.
