Fighter planes are making a comeback at this year’s Paris Air Show. Unmanned and autonomous technologies are shaping the future of the military, and they are also influencing the discourse at the Le Bourget airport in northern Paris.
Amid severe global tensions, the largest aerospace expo in the world launched with an anticipated 300,000 guests and 2,400 exhibitors from 48 nations.
