Annual aviation festival kicks off in north China with dazzling aerobatic performances
The 2020 Aviation Festival kicked off in Ulanqab City of north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Friday morning with dazzling aerobatic performances.
At around 11:30 Friday, an aerobatic display team consisting of two Bell 407 helicopters, a four-blade, single-engine, civil utility helicopter, wowed the audience with dizzying aerobatic maneuvers.
The helicopter, worth 25 million yuan, has a maximum speed of 250 km per hour and a flying range of 675 km.
Twenty paramotors also won applauses from the audience after performing various group flying stunts.
Organized by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association of China (AOPA-China), the aviation festival this year will last for three days, with 55 aircraft, including fixed wing planes, helicopters, paramotors and paragliders.
Visitors can enjoy a four hour-long spectacular aerobatic show performed by these aircraft each day.
As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, foreign participants have been unable to attend the event, while all the performing pilots have passed through nucleic acid testing, according to the organizers.
