A Bleriot monoplane performs its demonstration flight at Le Bourget, north of Paris, during the 48th International Paris Air Show on Saturday. French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Dassault Aviation SA chief executive officer Charles Edelstenne watch a presentation of the new Airbus 380 superjumbo jet at the air show.

While he was at the show, Sarkozy called for a Europewide effort to design a new-generation rocket launcher to replace the Ariane-5.
