When was the aviation industry established in China?

China's aviation industry was established after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The People's Air Force was established in June 1949 1 1, and in June 1950 1 to resist US aggression and aid Korea, which accelerated the process of establishing aviation industry. 195 1 In April, the People's Revolutionary Military Commission of the Central People's Government decided to establish Li Fuchun with Nie as its director. When the new China aviation industry was established, there were only 16 small aviation factories and two arsenals, more than 300 sets of equipment and more than 9,000 employees. Thanks to the efforts of all the staff, they overcame all kinds of difficulties in material and technical conditions and quickly carried out the repair work of aircraft and engines. By the end of 1952, * * had repaired 473 aircraft and 2,627 engines, which strongly supported the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

The first five-year plan from 65438 to 0953 listed the aviation industry as a national key construction project, and the Soviet Union provided technical assistance for the establishment of China's aviation industry. 1In July, 954, the first aircraft produced in New China, Chujiao 5, was successfully trial-produced. Then, at 1956, the first domestic jet fighter 歼 5 was successfully trial-produced. 1957- 1958, manufactured a multi-purpose transport plane-Yun 5 and a self-designed primary trainer-Chujiao 6. 1959 supersonic jet fighter-歼 6 was successfully tested again. China's aviation industry took only seven or eight years from repair to manufacturing to self-design, from producing aircraft with piston engines to mastering the manufacturing technology of jet aircraft. China has become one of the few countries in the world that can produce jet planes on a large scale.
