Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) is a Chinese aircraft manufacturer in Shenyang, Liaoning and a subsidiary of AVIC. Founded in 1951 as the classified 112 Factory, it is the oldest aircraft manufacturer in the People's Republic of China.[2] Many other aircraft manufacturers in China, such as Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group or Guizhou Aircraft Industry Co., were founded with help from SAC. The company mainly focuses on designing and manufacturing civilian and military aircraft and related components including jet engines, as well as UAVs such as SYAC UAV.[3]

Known as the "cradle of Chinese jetfighters" (Chinese: 中国歼击机摇篮), SAC has been cited for producing China's first indigenously manufactured jetfighter, the J-5 (a license-built variant of the Soviet MiG-17); the first jetfighter designed by China, the JJ-1 trainer; as well as its success in developing the workhorse J-8, J-11, J-15 (China's first carrier-based aircraft) and J-16 fighters, the upcoming J-35 stealth aircraft (China's second fifth-generation fighter and potentially first carrier-based stealth fighter[4]), and various lines of Chinese aircraft engines.[5]

## Partnership with Cessna

[edit]

On 27 November 2007, Cessna announced that the Cessna 162 Light Sport Aircraft would be produced by the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation.[6] The first production Cessna 162 took flight at Shenyang on 17 September 2009. The aircraft was not a success and production ended in January 2014 after 192 were sold.[7][8][9]
