Jianjiji Jiaolianji-5 (Fighter training aircraft 5) or Jianjiao-5
Westernised designation: FT-5 Two-seat trainer aircraft.

PROGRAMME:

This tandem two-seat version of the J-5 (Chinese built MiG-17) was developed at Chengdu in 1965 and flew for the first time on 8 May 1966. In essence, it combines the tandem cockpits and forward fuselage of the MiG-15UTI with the rest of the airframe of the J-5A (Chinese MiG-17PF), though retaining the latter's lipped intake, the small fairing indicating provision for a radar ranging gunsight in the front cockpit. Other changes include use of a non-afterburning Xian (XAE) WP5D turbojet, rated at 26.48 kN (5,952 lb st); and reduction of the armament to a single Type 23-1 (23 mm) gun, carried in a removable belly pack, with the barrel to the starboard side of the nosewheel doors.
Certificated for mass production at the end of 1966, the JJ-5 is still the standard advanced trainer of the Chinese air forces, to which pupil pilots graduate after basic training on the NAMC CJ-6 (which see). A total of 1,061 had been built by the end of 1986.
