The CJ-6 basic trainer aircraft was developed from the Nanchang CJ-5 (Chinese copy of the Yak-18). The aircraft was produced in mass numbers to provide basic training for the PLAAF student pilots.CJ-6初级教练机从南昌CJ-5（Yak-18的中国仿造型）发展。飞机为大量PLAAF驾驶学员提供基本的训练。

The ChuJiao-6 (CJ-6) is the basic trainer aircraft designed and built by Nanchang Aircraft Factory (now Hongdu Aircraft Industry Group). The aircraft is use by the PLAAF for basic flight training. Although the aircraft has been flying for over four decades, it still provides reliable performance and may well remain in service for some years to come. Nanchang is reportedly developing a replacement for the CJ-6 but this cannot be confirmed.

“初教”（ChuJiao）-6（CJ-6）是由南昌（Nanchang ）飞机厂（现在洪都飞机工业集团）设计和制造的初级教练机。飞机被PLAAF用于基本飞行训练使用。虽然飞机已经飞行超过四十年，但是它仍然提供可靠性能和有可能在未来若干年中去保持服役。南昌正在根据传闻为CJ-6发展一种替代型，但无法确认。

The CJ-5 has been flying with the PLAAF for over four decades, and may remain in service for some years to come.CJ-5在PLAAF中已经飞行超过四十年，并且可能在若干年保持服役中。

PROGRAMME

Unlike most people believed, the Nanchang CJ-6 is not a direct copy of the Soviet Yakovlev Yak-18A basic trainer. In fact, the CJ-6 was developed from the CJ-5 (Chinese copy of the Yak-18) basic trainer aircraft which was also built by Nanchang. Most notably, the CJ-6 has an aluminium alloy structure instead of the steel tube structure of the Yak design.

计划

不像大多数人认为的，“南昌”的CJ-6没有直接仿造苏联Yakovlev Yak-18A初级教练机。事实上，CJ-6从也是由南昌制造的初级教练机CJ-5（Yak-18的中国仿造型）上发展。最显而易见地，CJ-6采用铝合金结构而不是Yak设计的钢管结构。

China obtained the Yak-18 technology in the early 1950s and its Chinese copy CJ-5 was built locally under license in Nanchang Aircraft Factory (now Hongdu) between 1954 and 1958. The design showed deficiencies for jet pilot training which led the Chinese to independently revise the basic Yak-18 design to feature a retractable undercarriage, with the main gear folding inward toward the fuselage, and the nose wheel retracting backward into the fuselage. The revised design was given a new designation CJ-6.

中国在1950年早期获得了Yak-18技术，而且它的中国仿造CJ-5型在1954年和1958年之间由南昌飞机厂（现在的洪都集团）在许可之下本地制造。设计显示出用于喷气驾驶员训练的不足，导致中国独立地修改初级Yak-18设计，以一个可收放起落架为特点，采用主起落架向前折叠进机身内和前轮向后缩回进入机身之内。被修改的设计被给予新的命名CJ-6。

The wings of the CJ-6 were revised to have prominent dihedral, but, like the Soviet Yak-18A redesign, the CJ-6 retained the 145hp M-11ER radial engine with similarly disappointing results when it first flew in 1958. Revised power, in the form of an Ivchenko AI-14R engine, didn't completely solve the problem either, which called for further redesign of the aircraft.

CJ-6机翼被修改有双面凸起，但是像苏联Yak-18A的重新设计，CJ-6在1958年最初飞行时结果令人失望，保留了145马力M-11ER星形发动机。改进动力，采用一台Ivchenko AI-14R发动机的形式，没有完全解决任何问题，要求飞机进一步的重新设计。

Finally, in 1961, an improved CJ-6A gained approval and was produced from 1962 until 1965, using a 285hp Quzhou Huosai-6A (Chinese copy of the AI-14R) piston engine. More than 1,800 CJ-6As were produced, including those exported to nations such as Albania, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Tanzania and Zambia under the designation PT-6. An armed version, the CJ-6B, was produced between 1964 and 1966, possibly equipped with a 300hp HS-6D engine.

最后，在1961年改进CJ-6A得到批准，生产从1962年直到1965年，使用一台285马力株洲（Quzhou）“活塞”（Huosai）-6A（AI-14R的中国仿造型）活塞发动机。CJ-6A生产超过1,800架，包括指定为PT-6的外销型出口到例如阿尔巴尼亚、孟加拉、柬埔寨、坦桑尼亚和赞比亚。一种武装型CJ-6B，在1964年和1966年之间被生产，可能装备一台300马力HS-6D发动机。

More than 2,000 CJ-6s of all types are believed to have been produced, with tens of thousands PLA student pilots trained on the aircraft. Many CJ-6s were also exported to Western countries for general aviation and leisure flight. Both the Yak-18 and the Nanchang CJ-6 have become popular with pilots worldwide who appreciate the sturdy qualities, reliability and personality of these old warbirds.

所有型号超过2,000架CJ-6据信已经被生产，在飞机上训练了数万名PLA驾驶学员。许多CJ-6用于普通航空和休闲飞行也被出口到西方国家。Yak-18和南昌CJ-6都已经在世界范围受驾驶员欢迎，那得感谢这些旧的军用飞机的坚固质量、可靠性和品质。
