What might this be？

IMO simply the JZY-01 naval AEW/C-demonstrator !

I don't think is demonstrator but might be a real pt ready to test in CV-16 liaoning.

Why ??ß The demonstrator as far as I know lacks a hook for exaple to land on the carrier and here I can't see anything that leds to the assumption that it is a different aircraft !

I am not saying anything。

Not ruling in anything，not ruling out anything either。

 

[Deino]

Me too, but IMO to assume it is already carrier-capable is a bit far fetched ... esp. without a hook !

Otherwise I agree with You.

What might this be？

The China version "E-2 AEW/C" prototype based on a Y-7 plane ... many years ago pic out. If not mistake, this prototype had test for 3x years.

This unit - actually the 54. AR / 18. AD - already uses this specially painted birds since late 2012 !

China Applied 3D Printing Tech in Aerospace Engine Parts

BEIJING, Mar 03, 2015 (SinoCast Daily Business Beat via COMTEX)

Beijing Power Machinery Research Institute on March 2 announced the successful application of the 3D printing technology of metallic materials for pilot production of some key parts for aerospace engines.

The person in charge of the institute said "although there is still a long way to go for really achieving printing entire engines, China's aerospace engine manufacturing has thus entered into a "fast track" for 3D printing.

Compared with traditional processing of metal materials with lathes or digital machine tools, the 3D printing technology has many advantages, such as no-mold free forming, fast processing rate, low production cost for small-volume parts, and strong ability to processing complex- and special-shaped structures.

The pilot production of some complex, key and important parts for engines with the 3D printing technology for metallic materials marks China has "stood on the same starting line" as international counterparts.

Is this some kind of preview of their products going to unveil/operational in 2015?

Surely not in 2015 ! Neither the Y-20 nor the J-31 will reach that target ...

 

[Akasa]

Shouldn't the improved prototype be shown here (when will it might be unveiled) rather than the initial one?
