Chinese Trainer Aircraft (JL-8, JL-9, JL-10 (L-15), etc.)

Me gusta mas que los primos Yak-130 y el M-346, ademas de que este puede ser supersónico..

Sí, a mí también. Creo que sería un gran aporte para cualquier fuerza aérea que tenga que equilibrar necesidades y problemas de presupuesto.
La variante B, supersónica y con radar PESA podría ser una gran solución temporal para la vetusta fuerza aérea Argentina, que no es ni una sombra de lo que supo ser.

Yes me too. I think it would be a great contribution for any air force that has to balance needs and budget problems.

The variant B, supersonic and with PESA radar could be a great temporary solution for the old Argentine air force, which is not even a shadow of what it knew to be.

Rool-out of the first FTC-2000G, a variant of the advanced training aircraft JL-9 dedicated to export.

The CJ-6, the trainer aircraft first flown in China in late 1950s and still flying today!

Chinese are cheap! Haven't you read Crazy Rich Asians?

Not lnly still flying but also still in production... that is a real contradiction: on the one side stealth fighters and on the other still not a decent trainer.

Banter aside, it's quite likely there's not much to be change on the aerodynamic design of an easy-to-fly propeller trainer aircraft from that time to present time. I'm sure instrumentation and engine of the trainer are already modernised. On the other hand, a trainer with seat ejection capability may require an entirely new design from scratch. Then again, does any of the modern propeller trainer has seat ejection? Probably not.

Come on !?? If you look at other Airforces flying very much more modern types like the DA-20 from Diamond, or others there's surely a lot to change and especially the mentioned flight instrumentation. ... and something like the PC-21 is also still missing!
