Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation

From Free net encyclopedia

Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation (HAMC) is a Chinese company located in the Heilongjiang province that makes aircraft.

History

The first factory opened in 1952 to repair aircraft. In 1958, it began producing licensed copies of Soviet aircraft. It produced the Z-5, the Mil Mi-4 helicopter, the H-5 light bomber, and the Ilyushin Il-28.

It then produced the Harbin Y-11 a light twin-engined utility aircraft — an aircraft of its own design and not a licensed copy. The Harbin Y-12 which followed, while similar to the Y-11, was a largely new aircraft.
