FTC-2000 AJTs from china

the FTC-2000 is as good as the L-15 if not better

FTC-2000 Shanying (Mountain Eagle) is a tandem two-seater, single-engine advanced training aircraft developed by Guizhou Aviation Industry Group. The aircraft, designed and manufactured completely in China, is to be used for training 4th-generation fighter plane pilots. In addition, the training plane can easily be turned into a fighter plane if necessary.

Nice chubby little jet,

i want to see this jet as a Fighter/Bomber not a trainer, from the looks it seems more decent, sexy and cool, do not know about the performance yet and can Pakistan acquire it?

Its actually baised on the JJ-7 other wise known as the FT-7. They just redesigned the cockpit, intakes and put on a hard nose.

I wonder if we will get any?

 

[Munir]

I personally think that it would not add lots of advantages to buy another trainer next to K8. Looking at the fact that we have intesting numbers of F16B, J6, getting jf17B, FC20B we do not need another trainer only plane...

 

[Muradk]

Well Qadri these planes indeed can carry weapons, if you look at the K-8, it is also capable of carrying weapons, not air to air since its a subsonic aircraft but bombs and does have a limited capability of making bombing run missions. The planes are actually very close to a real jet fighter because the purpose is to replicate to the pilot how an actual fighter jet works. And that was the very reason pakistan was also looking for new trainer jets and also ordered more K-8s because the current training jets in PAF inventory were inadequate for the training of the pilots for the new jets such as the F-16s, JF-17 and J-10s.
