In addition to military aircraft, China’s aviation sector will be represented by several civilian and commercial models. COMAC (Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China) will present multiple aircraft, including the ARJ21 COMAC converted freighter and the ARJ21 medical services jet. Other commercial aircraft such as the C919, P600X, and P600U will be part of the lineup, demonstrating China’s growing presence in commercial aviation.
Other new aviation platforms will also be introduced at the exhibition, including the AG600 large amphibious aircraft and the H400 logistics aircraft. These new models indicate developments in both civilian and military sectors, providing platforms aimed at varied operational needs.
Overall, the 2024 Zhuhai Airshow is poised to be a significant event, showcasing a wide range of China’s latest advancements in aviation. It will highlight the growing capabilities of both the People’s Liberation Army and the nation’s defense industry, with a focus on new aircraft, unmanned systems, and an array of technological novelties. The potential debut of the J-35 stealth fighter, alongside other unveilings such as updated transport planes and drones, will provide insight into China’s evolving military aviation.
