This year's airshow, which will last until Sunday, has an indoor exhibition area of around 100,000 square meters, and the number of aircraft for outdoor display exceeds 110.
A range of China's homegrown aerial vehicles performed at the opening ceremony, including the AG600M amphibious firefighting aircraft, the YU-20 tanker aircraft, the J-20 stealth fighter jets, and China's first homegrown large jetliner C919.
The AG600M aircraft, independently developed by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China to serve the country's emergency rescue missions, demonstrated its water-dropping function to the public.
