TITLE/SIGNIFICANCE: flew Chinese Produced Transport (Y
-10) Identified at Shanghai/Dachang
Airfield
COMMENT: In late 1970 China made the decision to
develop and build a commercial transport
aircraft which was designated Y-10. The aircraft
is similar in overall appearance to
the Boeing 707, but with minor differences. The
Y-10 is smaller, lighter and has a
different wing (slightly less total wing area and
a more noticeably angled trailing
edge). Also, the fuselage length forward of the
wing is shorter on the Y-10. Despite
this effort, China will probably not mass produce
the Y-10.
