The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of the Rostec State Corporation) will take part in the Airshow China 2024 international air show, which will be held from November 12 to 17 in Zhuhai (China). The Su-57E, a multirole fifth-generation fighter, will be presented for the first time abroad. The aircraft will take part in the exhibition's flight demonstration program; visitors will also be able to see the aircraft at the show’s static display.

The Corporation's stand will also be dedicated to the Su-57. Visitors will be able to "fly" an interactive Su-57E simulator using virtual reality technologies.

An extensive business program is planned for the exhibition. Southeast Asia countries are long-standing and reliable partners of Russian aircraft manufacturers. Many countries in the region successfully operate Russian aviation equipment. The emphasis in the work of the Corporation's delegation will be on discussing international cooperation issues. Russia and China are long-standing partners in aviation and intend to continue cooperation in all segments.

UAC is constantly increasing Su-57 production volumes, the Corporation is ready to offer this aircraft to its foreign partners. The presence of a fifth-generation fighter in Russia is an indicator of technological sovereignty and the high level of science and technology of the country. It is symbolic that exactly 10 years ago, the Su-35 was shown at this same exhibition. Since then, the aircraft has found its customers in many countries around the world. 

Airshow China is the largest exhibition in the region and has been held since 1996 under the patronage of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, as well as the Ministry of Civil Aviation, the Ministry of Aviation Industry, the Council for the Promotion of International Trade and the Government of Zhuhai.
