you may not think that the first aircraft of new china was born in nanchang, jiangxi. on july 3, 1954, the first aircraft made in new china, the cj-5, made its maiden flight. the history of new china's inability to produce aircraft ended there.

starting from the first aircraft made in new china

jiangxi is one of the important aviation industry r&d and production bases in my country.

it has realized the "flying dream" of generations of chinese people.

learn about the development of jiangxi's aviation industry

in the early days of the founding of the people's republic of china, seven hangars, an octagonal pavilion, a warehouse, a 1,500-meter gravel runway, and an aircraft control tower were built in a barren area in the southeast corner of nanchang. just 133 days later, on july 3, 1954, the first aircraft made in new china, the cj-5, made its first successful flight in nanchang.

starting from the cj-5, jiangxi's aviation industry has created many "firsts":

cj-6, china's first self-designed and manufactured primary trainer aircraft q-5, china's first self-designed supersonic jet attack aircraft k8, china's first intermediate trainer aircraft with aircraft design and manufacturing technology transferred to foreign countries l15 "falcon", china's first advanced trainer aircraft with independent intellectual property rights and reaching world-class level

there are tens of thousands of rivets and wires on a trainer aircraft. a single millimeter error can lead to a huge loss. over the past 70 years, with the joint efforts of batches of young aviation personnel, through continuous innovation and development of technology, a solid foundation has been laid for advanced trainer aircraft students to enter combat units and participate in flight missions after graduation. in 2019, the falcon l15 advanced trainer aircraft won the first prize of the national science and technology progress award.

today, jiangxi is the only province in my country that has the ability to develop and produce both rotorcraft and fixed-wing aircraft. it is also an important assembly base and production test center for the domestically produced large aircraft c919, and one of the industrial centers for low-altitude aircraft such as light and medium-sized unmanned helicopters and logistics drones. various regions are also deeply integrating regional characteristics with modern technology to create a new development trend in the low-altitude field that complements and advances together.

as the birthplace of the first aircraft in new china, jiangxi has the inherent advantage of a solid general aviation manufacturing foundation. today, jiangxi is also attracting more and more young people to come here to "ask for gdp from the sky" and create more "new possibilities". in recent days, jiangxi flight academy, the second university in the country named after "flight", has welcomed its first batch of freshmen. jiangxi is reserving a steady stream of young forces to accelerate the development of the low-altitude economy.

jiangxi is also one of the first provinces in the country to expand the pilot program for low-altitude airspace management reform. now, a number of engine, uav and parts supporting companies are "landing" in jiangxi, and an aviation industry chain integrating r&d, manufacturing and operation is being accelerated here.

nowadays, in jiangxi villages, you can see drones delivering not only express but also crops down the mountain. moreover, the integration model of "low altitude + cultural tourism" is also constantly expanding the boundaries of tourism experience. hot air balloons, helicopters, paragliders and other low altitude flight experience projects are becoming another cultural tourism business card of jiangxi.
