honestly, there will be nothing special in Airshow except Y-20B and maybe J-35.. this is what i m expecting.

in Propulsion. same machines will display as usual.. WS-10/CJ-1000 , small turboprop and turboshaft engines. that's it.. they have been repeating this for years. its boring now.

Come on man. Airshows are always special. I wish I had the income where I could casually visit things like this.

With the rare exception of some performance specs being shared the best part of the airshow for engine news is never the engines and always the components displays.

The 2022 event where they quickly covered up FC-31 mock-up with canvas as soon as the airshow opened shows that someone higher up, probably from the military, was not happy to too much disclosure of details. So I don't expect them to show a real FC31/J31/J35 on static display. The best hope we can have would be fly-by display only, similar to the first appearance of J20.

J20 with new engines may appear.

I expect a few new helicopters will be there, the real aircraft not mock-ups. Also it is about the right time for disclosure of Y20B/YY20B with new engines, to show to potential foreign customers.

And as usual, a lot of UAC/UCAV will be displayed, many will be new models, including air taxi and large transport UAV.

I can see why they might advertise the J-31/35 series more this time around though.
