Provided that the information from that CAD illustration is accurate - That does look to be a Su-57. Otherwise, I don't recall any other currently active Sukhoi aircraft models with designation that starts with the number "5".

In the meantime, what's that "Navy XXX" aircraft that's parked to the right of the Embraer E-195? China doesn't operate any military aircrafts that feature dihedral wings with wing-mounted engines (except high-ranking official transport aircrafts). Foreign perhaps?

Maybe they just reused the image and its actually an Embraer KC-390?

Is this footage from just recently or 2022? The poster indicated the former.

The WIP Work in Progress on site seems unlikely for 2024 airshow. The works are already near completion. I attended an international trade show in Hong Kong once as exhibitor with our own booth, what is shown in this video is similar to work done just 2 or 3 days before opening date of a show.

Sorry, I don't get you. If the WIP is nearing completion with just 2 or 3 days before opening, didn't you mean it should be for the 2024 show?
