China Airshow 2014, Zhuhai, China

Post by P.Terlouw »

Last week I visited the 10th China Airshow held at Zhuhai airport in the South of China. This time the Chinese showed off some interesting hardware and although the weather is challenging there (humid, fog, cloudy) I still got some nice results.

1. The new J-31 is also being marketed as the F-60
Image

2. Shaanxi KJ200 AEW platform
Image

3. The Ilyushin KJ2000 was a very welcomed surprise
Image

4. The new Chinese transport plane, the Xian Y-20
Image

5. this Y-9 was present at the static
Image

6. Sukhoi Su-35 taking off.
Image

7. Also present the "August 1st" team with their J10's
Image

8. and also the Russian Knights

The Xian Y-20 looks like an A400M with Jet Engines.

Very interesting selection of aircraft.

I think the Y20 looks like the Japanese C1 more than a C17 to me.

Smashing set of images from behind the "Bamboo Curtain" it does however seem that the Chinese, like they with their copy-cat cars, seem to copy designs from the West
