Work on the Chengdu J-7 111 began in 1981 with the first flight taking place in 1984 but it wasn't until 1992 that the PLAAF began to be equipped with them. The delay was caused by the problems the development of the WP-13 engine and its certification. The Chinese Chengdu J-7 III and the Mig-27MF have an almost identical physical appearance making the shape of the parachute brake covers one of only a few visible differences. The Chengdu J-7 III also has blown flaps. There were over 2,450 J-7 variants manufactured.
Designed as a Chinese produced version of the MiG-21, the J-7 was first flown in January, 1966. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
