Jets of the Red Arrows, officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, fly in formation in Zhuhai, Guangdong province, on Oct 27, 2016. The British aerobatic team will perform at the 11th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition
The KJ-500 is the latest in the PLA's support aircraft fleet. Its cutting-edge fixed phased-array radar and two passive electronic intelligence arrays are capable of tracking up to 100 targets simultaneously at a distance of 470 kilometers, according to reports.
Meanwhile, the China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics, one of the nation's largest military drone developers, will showcase the latest model in its Cai Hong series of reconnaissance and combat drones at the air show. These drones have been sold to militaries in more than 10 countries around the world and can compete with any other drones of their kind, according to publicity officers.
Also on display will be the latest from the nation's largest missile manufacturer, China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp, including the first public appearance of the CM302 supersonic anti-ship missile, which is capable of hitting ground targets.
Military enthusiasts are also looking forward to seeing the highly-anticipated J-20 fifth-generation stealth fighter jet.
AVIC and the PLA Air Force have yet to confirm that the plane will be on display, but Chinese media have quoted industry analysts as reporting that it is highly likely it will make its debut at the air show.
Analysts said video clips circulating online show two J-20s completing aerobatic maneuvers in preparation for an aerial display at the event.
