Pilot lands Jian 10 after engine fails

The pilot of a Jian 10, China's most advanced military aircraft, made a successful emergency landing after the fighter jet's engine failed during a training flight, reported China Central Television (CCTV) on Sunday.

Li Feng had been in the middle of a difficult maneuver at 4,500 m on March 7 when a warning started to flash on his control screen, the report said.

Li, a deputy regiment commander of the air force, realized the plane might lose power at any moment and requested to return to base after a quick systems check.
