Design allows aircraft to be used as a trainer or for combat, its maker says
A domestic aircraft manufacturer rolled out its first plane for export, a trainer for fighter jet pilots, on Monday in Anshun, Guizhou province.
The aircraft - a modified Mountain Eagle, based on the earlier JJ-7 trainer jet - was developed by Guizhou Aviation Industry Group, a subsidiary of Beijing-based Aviation Industry Corp of China.
