A large-scale air show is underway in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong.

A wide range of civilian aircraft are on display at Aero Asia 2023 in Zhuhai. More than 250 firms from China and around 20 other countries and regions are participating.

Business jets that are seeing high demand among wealthy individuals and small propeller planes are among the exhibits.

Drones are another big attraction. They can carry out tasks such as deliveries, facility maintenance and rescue operations.

Electric aircraft that take off and land vertically are drawing large crowds. One on display recently received a safety certification from the Chinese government.

The show runs through Sunday. Its organizers are expecting around 40,000 visitors.
