In September 1956, China's first aircraft design team was set up atShenyang, headed by Mr. Shunshou Xu with general design layout being assigned to Jiahua Lin and Beushi Cheng. Their first task was to design a Chinese primary trainerand by December of 1957 they had named it the CJ1. (Primary Trainer No.1) By May 1958 designers had a full-scale wooden mock-up fitted with a Czech Dorris-B engine.It was at this time the project was moved to the Nanchang factory.By July 1958 the aircraft had been renamed the "Hongzhuan 502", and had received a Russian engine, the 160 hp Shvetsov M-11FR. It was used on the prototype becauseof the late delivery of the Dorris-B engine. First flight took place on 27th of August 1958, flown by test pilots Mr. Maofan Lu & Mr.Yinxi He.It had been just 72 days from detail design to first flight with the prototype, which was manufactured in 30 days.(All of the first airframe's major sub-assemblies wereriveted together in 14 days, the final assembly being completed in 7 days by 3 work shifts). A full-scale, static airframe was tested to destruction and drop tests of thelanding gear performed. Test flights however, could not be finished because of inadequate power from the M-11FR engine and the fixed-pitch prop. At the same time, theRussian Yak-18A was in production, with a more powerful engine, the 260 hp Ivchenko AI-14. The Chinese AF required quick delivery and in March 1960 the Chineseaviation industry authority decided to emulate production of the Yak18A and the Hongzhuan 502 test flight programme was further delayed.In August 1960 new decisions were made. The Russian AI-14 engine replaced the M-11 for the Hongzhuan 502, and test flights resumed November 18th, 1960. Thespinning test was done by test pilot Mr. Zhaolian Huang. Also, in August of 1960, the Zhuzhou Engine Factory started copy-production of the Russian AI-14 engine. Theproduction prototype made its first flight on October 15th, 1961, the flight-test program lasting eventually for 612 flight hours and including over 1,800 take-offs andlandings. The Sino-Russian brother-relationship broke up 1961, and they also renamed the aircraft "Primary Trainer CJ61".In January 1962, the government approved fullscaleproduction at the Nanchang factory. On June 4th 1962, Zhuzhou certified & named the copy-built engine the HS-6, producing it fully in 1963. By 1964 the primarytrainer was officially named the CJ6 with the 260 hp Zhuzhou HS-6 engine and J2-G1 propeller, and progressing, by 1966, to the CJ6A version fitted with a 285 hpZhuzhou HS-6A engine and a J9G1 propeller. Also in 1966 a CJ6B with two 7.62 mm machine guns was produced, of which ten aircraft were manufacturedThere were two factories prior to 1979: Nanchang Hongdu (factory 320) & Nanchang Changjiang (factory 512). In 1985 the 'Haiyan' (Petrel) was produced for agriculturalpurposes. In 2002, the CJ6G was reportedly in production with a 400 hp HS-6K engine and a JL-2 three-bladed propeller. Total production numbers are reported to be2,400 to date and still in limited production.The Chinese Air Force keeps a Nanchang CJ6 fleet of 1,000 aircraft. It is reported that 211 Aircraft have been exported to 10 foreign Air Forces: 15 aircraft for Albania, 35for Bangladesh, 50+ for North Korea, 12 to Zambia, unknown numbers to Tanzania and Cambodia and 10 to Sri Lanka)The construction number starts with the batch number, followed by the factory code (310 for Nanchang-Hongdu and 512 for Nanchang-Changjiang) and the number in thebatch. Note: The CJ5 and CJ6 have an identical construction number range, so do be sure to identify the type correctly.2 320 03 not known CJ6A Chinese Air Force nov95 arrived Fremantle WA, and stored Maddington, Perth WA 1995/1996, dismantledVH-MAN CJ6A F.H.Smit rgd 06may03 restored to flying conditionVH-MAN CJ6A S&K Investments rgd 11may05 coded "85" white; f/n Jandakot 24sep05; l/n Pearce Air Force Base 20may12; current feb132 320 12 VH-BPR CJ6A N.
