The twelfth edition of China's largest air show, Airshow China 2018, took place with a dazzling display in Zhuhai in China's southern Guangdong Province. The opening ceremony was marked with aerobatic performances by the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) 'August 1' Aerobatics Team and the PLAAF Aviation University's 'Red Falcon' Air Demonstration Team.
Ruptly was given exclusive access to a revolutionary model of a twin-fuselage aircraft filmed in action for the very first time during a show-test in a wind tunnel at the Central Aero-Hydrodynamic Institute in Moscow. The aircraft is being designed for use by the Russian military and EMERCOM, the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, especially for cases when they need to deliver both personnel and vehicles in one flight. The aircraft will fly like a regular plane and can land on most airfields, so no special skills are required from the pilots. In fact, It could be even more stable during landing and take-off than single fuselage planes. The project was developed in part to increase accessibility to remote Russian regions by reducing financial and technical demands.
