China's L-15 advanced jet trainer made its debut in the 11th Dubai Air Show on November 11.

The L-15 will participate in two aerobatic drills and one rehearsal before it presents five formal performances during the air show.

The air show lasts from November 15 to 19 at the international airport in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and is considered one of the most important aerospace events in the world.

Lockheed Martin's F-22 fighter plane from the US, the Eurofighter Typhoon, and the L-15 from China's AVIC Hongdu Aviation are highlights of the show.

Aerobatic teams such as Frecce Tricolori from Italy's Airforce and France's Patrouille de France will showcase the performances of the Aermacchi and the Alpha Jet trainers respectively.
