The 7th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition will begin next Tuesday in southern China. Preparations are underway in Zhuhai, located in Guangdong Province for the biggest exhibition in the airshow's history.
With 3 exhibition halls, nearly 600 enterprises from over 30 countries and regions will display their products and services. Stars of the show include China's J-10 fighter, FBC-1 and other advanced planes. Two J-10 fighters put on a flying display as soon as they arrived in Zhuhai. They will perform more during the event.
The Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force will take part in the airshow for the first time. The PLAAF parachute team will put on a display. For the newly designated China's Aviation and Aerospace Day on November 5th, the PLAAF will jointly exhibit about 20 advanced Chinese-made planes with the China Aviation Industry Corporation.
As the opening ceremony draws near, many exhibitors have their booths ready for the show. Preparations are expected to complete before Monday. A medical drill has been carried out in case of emergencies and this year's medical service for the show is more internationalized.
