The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) air force's new jet J-35A stealth fighters conducted their second adaptive training on Saturday as they gear up for the upcoming Zhuhai Airshow in south China's Guangdong Province.
Although the J-35A fighters performed only a flyby and did not stay long over the sky of Zhuhai, the host city of the show, it is still one of the most anticipated aircraft among aviation fans gathering in Zhuhai for the airshow, officially the 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition.
As a new-generation medium-sized multi-role stealth fighter of China, the J-35A integrates aerodynamic, structural, and stealth design, and is crucial for the Air Force to conduct both stealth and counter-stealth operations.
Apart from the J-35A fighter, multiple aircraft models, including the J-20 stealth fighter, conducted the adaptive training for the air show, which is scheduled for Nov 12-17.
Four J-20 stealth fighters flew in formation and completed maneuvers in the training on Saturday morning.
The domestically-developed stealth fighter made the first public appearance on Nov 1, 2016, when a Air Force pilot flew the jet at the 11th Airshow China.
Additionally, the J-16, J-15, and JL-10 aircraft completed their adaptive trainings throughout Saturday.
Russian Sukhoi Su-57 stealth fighter jet also conducted a test flight on the day.
