AgustaWestland boasts its largest-ever exhibit at Farnborough this year and is using its dedicated pavilion outside OE1 to showcase not only a complete range of military and civil helicopters, but also a focus on capabilities.
Visitors to the display will be able to see two variants of the 15t, three-engine EH101 - the Italian navy MMI ASH version and also the first Danish search and rescue variant.
The UK Army's Boeing Apache AH1 is on display, and a ceremony to hand over the 67th and final aircraft will take place on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, naval and multirole variants of the Super Lynx 300 on order by Oman and Malaysia are also on show.
The line-up is completed by the A109 Power, A119 Koala and the AB139, which is exhibiting under the banner of Bell/Agusta Aerospace.
AgustaWestland's provision of the basic platform for the US101 - a contender in the VXX US presidential helicopter competition - is recognised within the Lockheed Martin pavilion, where the aircraft is on display. Lockheed Martin is prime contractor for the US101 team.
NH Industries has its own separate exhibit, where the PT1 variant of the NH90 tactical transport helicopter will be shown, alongside a full-scale mock-up of the 'high-cabin version' developed for Sweden. Agusta is a partner in the NH90 programme.
AgustaWestland's Capabilities Pavilion will feature three distinct themes: Networked training solutions, networked logistics systems and advanced technologies.
