Beijing : China’s most advanced multi-role fighter jet Jian-10 has been placed on public display for the first time more than a year and a half after it entered service.
The aircraft was shown at a ceremony organised by the China Aviation Industry Corporation I (CAICI) Wednesday, according to Huanqiu website.
The single-engine, single-seat fighter aircraft has been developed jointly by the CAICI and Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute (CADI) and entered service in December 2006.
The fighter jet with a pair of Pili-12 air-to-air missiles has an upgraded loading capacity, the website said.
Images of Jian-10 have featured prominently on many websites, in magazines and newspapers, but few people have been able to see it in real life.
