Again the biennial officially called 11th China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition was held in November at Zhuhai airport. Every year a few otherwise secret projects are on display and this year was the revelation of the J10B and J20 fighters both of which are believed to have become operational recently. Unfortunately the two-ship demonstration of the J20 was only conducted for about 1 minute during the official opening of the show, hours before anybody was officially allowed on the show. Among the other aircraft of interest were the first appearance of the low cost AEW KJ500 and the FTC2000 that as proven ever more successful as JL9 within the Chinese military and for which even an order for 6 aircraft for Sudan was made public. Of course, the first public appearance of the AG600 Flying Boat from the adjacent production line was a welcome sign of things to come! Notably absent, again, was the L7 turbo trainer aircraft.
