For Anyone Interested In Aircraft,

put the dates November 11-16 in your diary,

as that is when the Zhuhai International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition (namely Airshow China), will take place in Guangdong, China, expected at the show will be what appears to be China’s latest stealth fighter, which has been in development for a number of years and made its maiden flight in October 2012, is a twin-engine jet that military analysts said could potentially fly missions from an aircraft carrier, in August, the Shanghai-based Jiefang Daily reported that China’s aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, will house 36 aircraft, including 24 Shenyang J-15 fighters, for the technical the J-31 is designed and built by Shenyang Aviation Corporation, it is a 20-ton, twin-engined stealth fighter, about the same size as the American F-35, once it enters service, the J-31 would serve as a medium fighter alongside the heavier J-20, as well as on China's future carriers, if the J-31 is so similar to the American F-35 why build it? the answer is of course that China is hoping that its airshow debut could draw interest from Arab nations unable to purchase the F-35, as well as Pakistan and Latin America,

the J-31 isn’t the only new Chinese aircraft to be spotted this month, photos of the larger fourth-generation stealth fighter J-20, Airborne Early Warning and Control System aircraft KJ-500 and Y-20 large military transporter, reportedly conducting test flights, were published on a popular military forum last Saturday, 

also expected is the 2 man crewed J-16 Multirole Fighter which is a strike fighter is based off of the Su-30MKK Flanker, having a two person crew allows for a dedicated weapons sensor officer, seated in the cockpit's rear, to focus on finding targets, managing electronic warfare and controlling precision guided munitions, theses are just a few of the highlights, so if you are a nation looking for a few toys have your cheque books at the ready!
