The 2016 Zhuhai Airshow saw New Yuan's participation as well, and it was considerably more substantial than the last time.
In terms of space, it was still mostly models and PowerPoint presentations, as several spacecraft were not available, leaving only an early research and development test version of the Explorer robot for the actual exhibit.
The aviation aspect was quite interesting, with 11 GJ-21 Meteor Advanced Trainer jets arriving for the airshow, and they would be performing frequent flights over the next two weeks.
Additionally, the An-1250 number one aircraft, B4043, would also have a flight display, a simple low-altitude flypast, but with its huge size, it was sure to be quite a spectacle.
Speaking of the An-1250, one couldn't help but mention that convoluted global flight plan which, after months of difficult negotiations, had finally secured flight permits for B4143 over dozens of countries.
