After which, the aircraft will leave Zhuhai in the afternoon for a tour to the Northern Chinese city of Shijiazhuang.

A cutaway model of the A330-200F freighter, a reference for cabin capacity and versatility in its class, and latest member of the popular A330 Family, will be displayed on the stand. Airbus (Beijing) Engineering Centre has been involved in the development of the A330-200F programme by performing six work packages.

Bombardier will highlight its extensive range of business and commercial aircraft, as well as its customer services portfolio, at this event. The company’s static display will feature the midsize Learjet 60 XR, the super midsize Challenger 300 and the large cabin Challenger 850 business jets.

The PLAAF is showcasing a wide range of aircraft, including the Kongjing-200 advanced warning and control system aircraft, H-6 medium-range bomber and JH-7 and J-10 fighters. The service’s August 1st aerobatics team will be flying six J-10s.

The Pakistan Air Force will participate with flying displays of the JF-17 Thunder fighter and K-8 jet fighter trainer.

The first domestically-made L7 model trainer aircraft is expected to debut. The L7 is a newly-designed sport and training aircraft model made by the Hong Du Aviation Industry Group, a huge backbone enterprise subordinated to the China Aviation Industry Corporation. It is used for pilot selection and primary training in air forces as well as for civil aviation clubs.

Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), said Friday it would showcase two types of China-made aircraft — Seagull 300 and Little Eagle-500 — at the upcoming Airshow China 2010 in Zhuhai city, Guangdong province, next month.
