On the opening day one of the most awaited novelty craft was presented – the Chengdu J-20 fifth-generation fighter aircraft (in the picture) designed for the China Air Forces.

Experts believe that Airshow China 2016 is a fitting rival to the world's largest Farnborough show.

The Y-20 military transport aircraft was also presented at the exhibition. The Antonov aircraft manufacturing company in Kyiv helped to design this craft. Besides, both Y-20 and J-20 are equipped with engines made in Russia.

The brightest episode of the show is the performance of the China Air Forces named August the 1st, which is the date of the People's Republic of China creation.

Guests of the show can see the Н-6K attack aircraft made in China. This craft was constructed with the help of Russian-made parts as well.

The next generation jet fighter FC-31 can probably be put on export. This is the cheapest version of the US F-35 fighter.

China is not the only country which presented its latest innovations. Thus, the Airbus company demonstrated its craft at the airshow.

The Russian Swifts impressed guests of the show with their exciting stunts on МиГ-29 jets.
