AIDC T-CH-1

The AIDC T-CH-1 Chung Hsing was a turboprop-powered military trainer aircraft produced in Taiwan (Republic of China).

Development
Development of the T-CH-1 began in November 1970. Based on the North American T-28 Trojan training aircraft, the T-CH-1 had a low-wing monoplane design with tricycle landing gear and two seats in tandem. By September 1973, the first prototype had been completed and on 23 November 1973, it made its first flight. A second prototype, able to carry weaponry, was also produced, and completed its first flight on 27 November 1974. Alongside the two prototypes, a further 50 aircraft were ordered for the Republic of China Air Force, with the final aircraft delivered in late 1981.
