The Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) announced on Sunday that it will showcase an impressive lineup, including the J-20 stealth fighter, the J-35A stealth fighter jet, and the J-10CE fighter jet.
Running from June 16 to 22, the Paris Air Show will feature China’s “20” series aircraft, demonstrating significant advancements in both military and civilian aviation. The AVIC aims to offer a comprehensive look at China’s expanding aviation capabilities, highlighting achievements in air superiority, long-range delivery, and joint land-air coordination.
Military Marvels on Display
Visitors will have the chance to see scale models of China’s most advanced military aircraft. The J-20 stealth fighter, known for its agility and cutting-edge technology, will be a highlight. Alongside it, the J-35A stealth fighter jet, the J-10CE fighter jet, the Y-20 large military transport aircraft, the Z-20 utility helicopter, and the Z-10ME attack helicopter will be featured.
The AVIC stated that this display underscores China’s ability to develop a fully integrated military aircraft system, showcasing its growing capabilities in future aerial combat and defense technologies.
Advancements in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
China’s rapid progress in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology will also be on full display. High-end export UAV systems, such as the Gongji-11 (GJ-11) stealth attack drone, the Wing Loong-2 and Wing Loong-2H armed reconnaissance drones, and the Xuange AR500W and Xuange AR2000 drone helicopters, will captivate attendees.
