The man who was in charge of China's J-15 fighter-bomber development program died of a heart attack yesterday morning after two J-15 jets successfully completed a take-off and landing exercise on China's first aircraft carrier, China Central Television reported today.
CCTV said Luo Yang was rushed to a hospital immediately after the aircraft carrier, Liaoning 16, returned to its home port in Dalian in northeast Liaoning Province, but emergency rescue failed to save his life. Luo died at 11am yesterday.
Two J-15 fighter jets have successfully carried out the take-off and landing maneuver on the aircraft carrier, setting a milestone in the vessel's path to full combat ability, the Ministry of National Defense announced yesterday.
The exercise also marked the debut of the J-15, also known as Flying Shark, which is developed by China's Shenyang Aircraft Industry Group based on Russia's Sukhoi Su-33. The exercise was held two months after the carrier entered service.
As the chairman and general manager of Shenyang Aircraft Industry Group, Luo was the chief supervisor of the J-15 development program.
