中广网 Beijing on June 8 news (reporter Guo Miao) at 10:20 on June 8, 2009 minutes, China has independently developed the Falcon L15 advanced trainer 05 in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province Qingyunpu airport successful maiden flight, which marked the Central Air Industrial Jiangxi Hongdu Aviation Industry Group Co., Ltd. (referred to in the aviation industry Hongdu) bear the Falcon aircraft development is about to be transferred to L15 identification test phase. China Aviation Industry Corporation party secretary, Lin Zuo Ming, general manager of the ceremony and issued its first flight in person flying command.

9:58, track upload to a huge roar of the engine, followed by, I saw a blue and white paint, with the Falcon 05 identified senior trainer, from the runway took off like a train has already left out of the northern line, proudly fly the blue sky of the motherland. Aircraft in two different heights through the field, flying for 20 minutes, adding land route to a safe landing pretty big angle of attack.

perform the mission’s chief pilot, Mr Yeung, Guo Yanbo Hongdu Group in the aircraft industry under the vigorous direction of workers surrounded the rostrum, Lin Zuo Ming, general manager of the 05 reported the first flight of the aircraft completed as planned, aircraft systems work as usual. Lin Zuo Ming, general manager of on-site speech, the test pilot and Hongdu Group congratulated the cadres and workers, the scene suddenly cheered up, to celebrate the successful maiden flight of Falcon 05.

L15 advanced trainer aircraft with the Falcon 05 aircraft, first flight, the aircraft industry already have flood 01,03,05 three Falcon L15 test prototype. Currently 01, 03 flight test prototype has been conducting a series of research showed that the airplane systems working properly, excellent aerodynamic performance and flight proven platform. Falcon 05 further optimized for use and maintenance requirements, closer to the user’s needs. After adjusting the amount of 05 test flights, with 03 aircraft is about to enter the identification with the flight test phase and completed this year, AJT state basic technical appraisal.

Falcon L15 advanced trainer aircraft designed from its inception with a series of development ideas. Stage coach type include AJT (senior coach) and LIFT (fighting induction training) two states. AJT state non-afterburning engine, is mainly responsible for increased technical and basic tactical flying training mission. LIFT state and increase the use of afterburner associated with the tactical training systems and equipment, aircraft, flying mainly responsible for the tactical and operational use of such training courses. In 03, 05 aircraft AJT state basic technical appraisal at the same time, the aircraft industry is also stepping up L15 Hongdu LIFT aircraft state development work.

Falcon advanced trainer aircraft developed in the new operational environment, and advanced combat aircraft in service training for pilots in the context of higher demand expanded. The aircraft has excellent aerodynamic platform and accompanied by four redundant fly-axis flight control system, able to reproduce low-cost flight performance combat aircraft, with a new generation of fighter aircraft with similar flight performance and maneuverability, to meet the pilot training demand; using two turbo-fan engine design and system backups Falcon has a higher safety and reliability; up to 10,000 flight hours of its service life and low life-cycle cost, can significantly reduce the cost of pilot training . The aircraft has a strong potential for development, expanding to meet the future needs of users, can be achieved based on the present and the future, the development of design series.

learned that the Falcon 05 aircraft will be flying out the door in November of this year, and do participate in the Dubai International Airshow air show, foreign businessmen to show the good performance of the Falcon, and actively expand the international market.
