China Has Developed a New Version of Fighter Aircraft.

Abstract

This translation of a Chinese document describes the development of a new fighter aircraft. The contents of this note show that this aircraft has a delta main wing, two turbo jet engines and an excellent capacity of supersonic and high-altitude climb. From the synthesis of different documents, this is a new, modified MiG-21 attack plane. The nose air intake was expanded, and the aircraft has the feature of being able to fly under all weather conditions. The aircraft was fitted with a fire control system and more advanced electronic equipment. It has a single vertical tail and two all-flying tailplanes. According to the guesswork of some experts, this new fighter aircraft is perhaps the expanded version of the MiG-21. Additional keywords: Foreign technology.
