ManufacturerChengdu Aircraft Industry Group
The Chengdu J-9 (Chinese: 歼-9) was an interceptor aircraft that was cancelled during development in the People's Republic of China (PRC). It was proposed in 1964 by the 601 Institute in Shenyang as a higher-performing alternative to the Shenyang J-8. Development was disrupted by the Cultural Revolution and frequently changing requirements; in addition, development was transferred to the National 132nd Factory and the 611 Institute in Chengdu. The program was cancelled in 1980.
