A rough translation of the Chinese characters on the fuselage reads "demonstrator aircraft".
This ship, Varyag, however, would be unable to support operations by large AEW&C aircraft because it relies on a 'ski-ramp' to launch aircraft. This limits fixed-wing operations to jet powered fighters, such as theSukhoi Su-33 or China's Shenyang J-15.
The existence of the JZY-01 could suggest that China eventually intends to develop aircraft carriers equipped with steam or electro-magnetic catapults.
