This year's China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition (Airshow China) is expected to put the spotlight on a number of domestic unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. Industry experts say this will help intensify competition in the global drone market.
Airshow China 2016 will be held from Nov. 1 to Nov. 6 in Zhuhai, South China's Guangdong Province. The show is a gateway for international aviation and aerospace enterprises to showcase their latest technologies and products in the fast-growing Chinese market.
More than 700 exhibitors from 42 countries and regions, among which, 45 percent are foreign firms, have signed up for the show this year. The expo will also feature 130 aircraft in static and flying displays, including a large variety of business jets and private aircraft, according to information posted on the official Airshow China website.
It's been reported that apart from displaying the country's new domestic-built J-20 stealth fighter and jets such as the J-10B, China will also showcase various UAVs that are expected to attract a lot of public attention. One highlight will be the CH-5 combat UAV developed by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
