Shanghai Y-10 — China’s First Jet That Almost Changed Everything

What It Was

China’s first domestically developed large jet airliner of the 1970s — bold, ambitious, and ahead of its ecosystem. A nation with limited resources built and flew a full-scale four-engine jet. It existed against the odds. It was driven by national ambition, self-reliance, and symbolic technological independence. By the time it flew, the world had already moved on. The program was cancelled before it could mature.

Why It Was Forgotten

No mass production. No airline service. No continuation — just two prototypes and silence. To digitally preserve a lost chapter of aerospace history — and let it fly again in CAD.
