China's Zhuhai Airshow will formally opened and we are seeing all-new aircraft designs, including a number of advanced drones, and improved variants of existing types. Various new and advanced air-launched weapons and other systems, which is really more of a massive trade expo for China's defense industry than a traditional air show. It perhaps offers the biggest glimpse into what China's capabilities look like today and what its military technology for tomorrow.
A concept for a Chinese stealthy tailless sixth-generation combat jet is also on display at Zhuhai, but appears to be very crude in what it actually shows. It may be more intended to reflect potential future capabilities than any particular active development. That being said, China's aerospace industry is known to be working on a sixth-generation combat jet and similar core designs have previously appeared in publicly available Chinese aviation engineering white papers. In recent years, this general planform has also more or less emerged as the default when it comes to publicly-discussed future fighter jet-like combat aircraft concepts, including those related to America's Next Generation Air Dominance initiative.
In September 2022, China is busy developing Next Generation fighter program, similar to US NEXT GENERATION AIR DOMINANCE , as per Gen. Mark D. Kelly, the head of Air Combat Command. Gen. Kelly expects that the profoundly cryptic Chinese endeavors will yield a similar sort of air battle 'arrangement of frameworks' that the US Air Force is seeking after, including a 6th generation monitored fighter stream.
There are thunderings that China could be dealing with a 6th generation airplane program, similar as its partner in the West. As the competition between the different sides heightens, higher echelons in the US military are beginning to raise the stakes.
The head of the US Air Battle Order, General Imprint Kelly, has stated that the US Air Force should ensure it handles its next-generation fighter first since China is "on target" to deliver a 6th generation fighter. Now it was displayed in Zhuhai.
Regardless, the tailless combat jet model appears to be more real than the Aviation Industry Corporation of China's (AVIC) Ultravic kiosk. This area of Zhuhai contains an entirely fictitious 'space fighter' that looks at least as if it would be more at home in an anime, if it's not actually based on a particular design, and seems to be solely intended to promote general interest and investment in Aviation Industry Corporation of China.
