- Obtain perspectives on the state of the industry, given the ~30% reduction in helicopter deliveries observed during 2014 and the additional pressure now being felt as a result of falling oil prices.
- Get program updates on the ‘missed’ 2014 milestones, including AS365 N3e certification, AW169 certification, AW609 PP3 first flight, Bell 525 first flight, CH-53K first flight, EC120 diesel first flight, Ka-62 first flight and S-97 first flight.
- Look for a mock-up of MD Helicopters’ new scout helicopter featuring a hybrid-electric power system, lightweight composites built using additive layer manufacturing techniques and proprietary NOTAR rotor-less tail system. (Or just this year’s rebadged 500. )
- See whether Scott’s – Bell harnesses the crowd-stopping spectacle of Hollywood’s latest and greatest high-def AV technologies and Cirque du Soleil's newest acrobatic display to out-do the 525 Relentless unveiling when showcasing its 47GT-6 prototype.
- Pay the obligatory visit to the local well-known attraction with its extravagant costumes, flashy stage shows, high entrance fees and fun rides (No, Rachel’s... ).

For me...
Seeing the X4 progress.
Seeing a real Bell 525
Flying the Model 505
Seeing the latest Lyn Tilton mockup with additive composite technology.
Enjoying a plate of genuine beef ribs.
Not going anywhere near Disneyland and little obnoxious spoiled kids with Mickey Mouse ears.

Bar the X4, is anyone else aware of anything also being revealed .......
Composite Helicopters Ltd from NZ will have two of their new products on display....a KC630 with an RR300 engine and Their high-powered, high-altitude model, the KC650 with a LTS101 engine in a utility six seat configuration.
Marenco will probably bring their SKye
