What was the name of the first plane in China?
China's first plane was called "Chujiao -5".
The first self-made aircraft in New China was the Primary Trainer -5. The plane made its first flight to the sky on July 3, 1954. On July 26th, 1954, the flight test ceremony of "Chujiao -5" trainer was held grandly.
The successful manufacture and smooth first flight of Junior Education 5 ended the history that New China could not manufacture its own aircraft, and opened a brand-new page in the development history of China aviation industry. President Mao Zedong personally signed a letter of commendation to the 32O factory of the Ministry of Aviation, which manufactured the Junior Education -5.
1954, China's aviation industry took the key first step from repair to manufacturing, sending domestic aircraft into the blue sky. In that year, nine Junior Five aircraft and 1 1 Avril Lavigne engines were manufactured. For the first time, China's aviation industry provided its own aircraft to the army.

15 At 5 pm on July 3, the scorching sun began to set in the west, and the first aircraft made an epoch-making intense test flight in a confidential state. The airport of Factory 320 is empty and quiet. Only a few leading comrades, expert group leaders and designers sat in the stands, and the employees of the whole factory stood outside their workshops and departments and looked up at the sky. The pilot Duan and Diao Jiaping boarded the homemade plane, took off slowly, moderately and quickly, then suddenly took off and rushed into the clouds with their heads held high.
People saw the plane rumbling, hovering in the blue sky like an eagle, suddenly rising rapidly, suddenly diving vertically, and suddenly tumbling. One turn is four or five times, and one roll is five or six times. In particular, before the plane was leveled, it entered a "stall spin", even turned and rolled down, then stopped rolling down, pulled up in a semi-circular arc, and then swayed gently.
After descending from far to near, the plane landed slowly and accurately The pilot said excitedly, "The parts have good performance and the test flight is smooth." Wu Jizhou, secretary of the Party Committee and director of the factory present, said: "The glorious birth of the first plane of New China in our factory is a great event that shocked China and foreign countries.
In order to stand the test, the factory decided to conduct a one-week test flight and named the plane' Primary Education -5'. "So, from the next day to 1 1 month, we secretly flew over the factory for more than 13 hours, about 2 hours at a time. The results once again prove that the quality of the aircraft is good and fully meets the design requirements.
