It's not FC-1, it's L-15. It's considered to be China's next big trainer export item. Also, it is probably more advanced in its field than any other Chinese planes have ever been.

Re: PLAAF Pic Thread 2

this is the comparison of L-15 and FC-1's stats
L-15的技术数据 褭訖��
机长 12.27m (length)
  翼展 9.48m (wing span)
  正常起飞重量 6800kg (normal starting weight)
  最大起飞重量 9800kg (maximum starting weight)
  发动机 AL-222-25F加力式涡扇发动机 (powerplants
  加力推力 4200kgX2 (thrust)
  最大飞行速度 1.4M (maximum speed)
  飞控系统 3轴4冗余电传飞控系统 (flight control system)
  转场航程 3100km (flight range)
  作战半径 1200km (operation range?)
  最大载弹量 3800kg (maximum payload)
  任务载弹量 3500kg (task payload?)
  起飞距离 200m (liftoff distance)
FC-1的技术数据
翼展 8.98米 (wing span)
机长 14.30米 (plane length)
机高 4.90米 (height)
主轮距 2.54米 
前主轮距 4.94米
正常起飞重量 9100KG (normal liftoff weight)
最大起飞重量 12700KG (maximum liftoff weight)
外挂能力 3800千克 (payload)
机内燃油 2300L (internal tank)
最大马赫数 M1.8 (maximum speed)
实用升限 16500米 (maximum operating altitude)
起飞滑跑距离 450米 (liftoff distance)
maximum G 8G
thrust 81.4 kN
This is exactly why many people in China would rather China use L-15 than FC-1

... why? :confused:
Those stats suggest the FC-1 is superior to the L-15 in almost every aspect

Re: PLAAF Pic Thread 2

It would appear that way, but you have to look at the big picture. J-10 is already in service, so FC-1's specs are at best secondary in plaaf. L-15 has the advantage of the short liftoff distance and its payload is similar enough to FC-1 despite being a much smaller jet. Basically, L-15 can do a lot of what FC-1 can do, but has other usage too.
