Description
 
The FT-6 is a superson ic trainer based on the F-6 fighter (Chinese version of the MiG-19). In the 1960s, the PLA Air Force and Navy were equipped with F-6 and F-7(MiG-21) fighters. At that time the primary aircraft to train pilots was the subson ic FT-5 which was not suitable for training pilots of superson ic aircraft. As a result, the PLA Air Force requested a trainer for this purpose as well as to execute other double seat flying mission s. The Shenyang Aircraft producing company designed and developed this trainer based on the prototype of the F-6. Its maiden first test flight on November,6,1970 and was later hand ed over to the PLA Air Force for experimental test flight s in January 1972. In November 1973, the trainer was approved for production until 1986, when the last FT-6 was manufactured.
