STORYLINE:

SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese): ZHENG FUJUN, Manager-Simulation, Research and Development Department of China Southern Sci-tech Co., Ltd.
"Tower, CZ3102 requests to approach runway."

STANDUP 1 (English): SUNNY ZHOU, Xinhua correspondent
"Here I am in the port city of Zhuhai, south China's Guangdong Province, where the Airshow China is underway between Nov. 12 and 17.
In addition to dynamic aerobatic displays, the event presents an impressive lineup of exhibits, offering a glimpse into the latest achievements in the industry."

SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): ZHENG FUJUN, Manager-Simulation, Research and Development Department of China Southern Sci-tech Co., Ltd.
"The equipment is the Flight Navigation Procedures Trainer (FNPT) independently developed by China Southern Airlines. It is a full-scale replica of the real aircraft cockpit, providing pilots with an immersive flight experience. We're capable of creating high-precision simulation models of any airport in the world. Based on our visual scene technology, the modeling is characterized by high speed and precision."

SOUNDBITE 3 (Chinese): HE KAN, Intermediate engineer, China Southern Technic
"Now, based on cloud computing and big data, we have developed an algorithm to detect flights cruising above an altitude of over 30,000 feet. When problems or potential risks are detected, we can take timely preparations on the ground. This technology can be applied in a fleet of over 600 aircraft, which significantly enhances operational efficiency and reduces costs."

SOUNDBITE 4 (Chinese): WANG CHU, Data maintenance and intelligent algorithm engineer, China Southern Technic
"You are now experiencing our MR virtual training system. The engine in front of you is fully interactive. Feel free to walk around it to get a 360-degree view. Thanks to spatial positioning technology, it feels incredibly real. Now, face the engine and you'll see several components. Use your right hand to grab and operate those lighted parts, then place them in the targeted positions on the engine. It enables you to experience real assembly training."

SOUNDBITE 5 (Chinese): DING HUI, Technical expert, China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) LES Information System Co., Ltd.
"Our system can serve as a 'brain' for low-altitude flight operations. It can mainly provide real-time command, control, and communication services to drones and manned aircraft. To tackle the complexities of urban low-altitude airspace, we have implemented intelligent algorithms to provide dynamic route planning, efficient scheduling, and proactive obstacle avoidance for low-altitude flights. Currently, our system is already in a test run in Nanjing City in Jiangsu Province, and other regions."

STANDUP 2 (English): SUNNY ZHOU, Xinhua correspondent
"Since its inception in 1996, Airshow China has become an important window for showcasing advanced aviation and aerospace technologies and equipment from home and abroad. It has also become an important international platform for promoting cooperation."

SOUNDBITE 6 (English): GEOFF HOEFFLIN, Aerospace strategic account manager, MW Components
"(It's my) first time here at the Airshow China. Very enthusiastic so far. Lots of interests. Greater than I anticipated.
It is a must if you're gonna get into the market."

SOUNDBITE 7 (English): RICHARD BRYNER, Marketing director, Pelican China
"It's our fourth time here. This is a very important show for us. The airshow attracts a lot of visitors and it also attracts a lot of attention. We do a lot of work with airlines and aviation businesses in the U.S. and we're looking to expand that here in China. Everyone who's involved in the aviation industry not only in China but in Asia is pretty much here at this show."
