| Named after a former president of Taiwan, Chiang
Ching-Kuo, an indigenous air defence fighter was put
into development in 1982 by the Aero Industry Development
Center (AIDC) at Taichung. Three single-seat
and one two-seat prototypes were ordered, the
first of these, a single-seater, being flown for the first
time on 28 May 1989. The Ching-Kuo fighter was
powered by two Garrett TFE 1042-70 turbofans, which,
produced in Taiwan by the International Turbo Engine
Company and developed in afterburning form under
the Yun Han (Cloud Man) programme, each provided
3783kg with maximum afterburning.
The airframe was developed in collaboration with
General Dynamics under the Ying Yang (Soaring Eagle)
programme; the avionics were acquired and integrated
under the leadership of Lear Siegler under the Tien Lei
(Sky Thunder) programme, and the primary missile
armament was evolved under the Tien Chien (Sky
Sword) programme. Armament consisted of one 20mm
M61A Vulcan rotary cannon and, for the intercept role,
four Sky Sword I short-range and two Sky Sword II
medium-range AAMs, the maximum external stores
load being 4082kg. The first of 10 pre-production
Ching-Kuos (a two-seater) flew in 1992, when
production of up to a further 130 was being planned. No
data had been revealed at the time of closing for press.
