China's domestically-developed stealth fighter jets, J-20 and J-35A, continued to stun spectators with thrilling aerobatic performances on Wednesday at the ongoing 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition in Zhuhai, a coastal city of south China's Guangdong Province.
The highly-anticipated biennial aerospace trade event, also known as Airshow China, will run through Sunday, and a four-hour flight demonstration, including performances of aerobatic teams and military jets, will be staged each day of the event.
On Wednesday, the second day of the show, two J-20 stealth fighters took part in a spectacular performance, wowing the aviation enthusiasts with the aircraft's unique engine roar.
The J-20, also called the Mighty Dragon, is the country's fifth-generation medium and long-range fighter jet. It is a twinjet all-weather stealth warcraft developed for China's Air Force.
The country's newly-unveiled J-35A stealth fighter jet also continued the dazzling flying display on Wednesday after making its debut a day earlier.
The medium-sized multi-role aircraft has been much anticipated since the announcement of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force on Nov 5.
It's China's second stealth fighter jet following the J-20.

With China assuming the rotating presidency on Friday, the United Nations Security Council will focus its work in May on revitalizing the authority of the UN Charter and the role of the United Nations, while advancing the political settlement of the Middle East issue, and promoting the stability and development of African countries.
Briefing reporters on the Security Council's priorities for May, Fu Cong, China's permanent representative to the United Nations and president of the Security Council for May, made the statement on Friday.
In recent years, the world has been witnessing growing turbulence in the international landscape, with conflicts increasing, divisions widening, and the multilateral system, along with international law, under considerable strain, he said, urging the international community to take urgent actions to uphold the authority of the UN Charter and strengthen the role of the United Nations to prevent the world from "relapsing into the jungle" and "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war".
In this context, Fu said, the Security Council will convene a high-level open debate in May under the theme of upholding the purposes and the principles of the UN Charter and strengthening the UN-centered international system.
