Rare Nanchang Y-5 Utility Aircraft

The Nanchang Y-5 is a rare and significant utility aircraft in the history of Chinese aviation.

Derived from the Soviet Antonov An-2 design, the Y-5 was the first self-manufactured transport aircraft in China, with over 700 units produced by 1970.

Among these, the Y-5C floatplane variant, of which only six were built, stands out for its unique military applications.

Visitors to the Beijing Civil Aviation Museum in 2024 will have the opportunity to explore this important aircraft, which highlights the development of domestic aviation capabilities in China.
