"I've just been informed by friends in the Brazilian Mavy that recently in the last months a high ranking delegation of the Chinese Navy (PLAN) toured the Brazilian aircraft carrier and made a great many questions regarding how we operated our CV, number of pilots on board, Air wing personel, and the procedures for training of the landing signals officers..

Could this be another tip that they are finally going to build and operate their own carriers..

The Brazilian Navy officer also said they were the "most interested and thorough foreign visitors to the São Paulo" since it was received by the Brazilian Navy

Tough and precise questions...

Regards, Hammer"

Russian Industry Shows Its Stuff
By Butowski, Piotr

MAKS'2005 was marked by technology innovations and some important international agreements

CHINESE INTEREST IN Su-33

Chinese interest in aircraft carriers has entered an active phase, and a Chinese delegation visited MAKS'2005 to carefully study all the necessary technologies. A presentation of the Su-33 and Su- 27KUB (Su-33UB) shipborne fighters was specially arranged for the Chinese party, including a late-evening Su-27KUB demonstration flight during the show. The Su27KUB, which was not included in the official list of aircraft on display, was only present at MAKS for half a day. It was brought from Saki, Ukraine, where it is being tested, specifically for the purpose of being presented to the Chinese delegation.

At the beginning of August, before the MAKS exhibition, a Chinese delegation visited St Petersburg, where it listened to presentations by representatives of the Nevskoye PKB ship design bureau, the designer of Russian aircraft carriers, as well as to other companies cooperating with Nevskoye PKB. The Chinese also examined aircraft carrier equipment, including automatic landing systems and arresting devices. The Chinese probably visited also the Ukrainian shipyard in Mykolayiv, which has built all Soviet aircraft carries, including the Admiral Kuznetsov and Varyag.
