Modern Chinese Airforce 2016

China’s domestic-built J-20 stealth fighter will make its public debut at the Airshow China 2016, which will be held in Zhuhai, South China’s Guangdong Province from November 1 to 6, with airforce pilots flying the new-generation warcraft.According to Shen Jinke, spokesperson for the People’s Liberation Army Air Force, the J-20 will take flight at the air show along with a number of other jets, including the H-6K and J-10B. The J-20 is a domestic-built jet to meet the future needs of the battlefield, Shen said, adding that development of the J-20 is progressing as scheduled, and the jet is expected to further boost the fighting capacity of the Chinese air force. Another new aircraft, the Y-20, will also be on display, although it will not make a test flight. The Y-20, a versatile plane with a maximum takeoff weight of about 200 tons, is designed for carrying cargo and personnel over long distances in “complicated meteorological conditions.” It officially entered military service in July this year. Other aircraft such as the H-6K bomber and the KJ-500, China’s early warning and control aircraft, will also be showcased at the exhibition.
