Memorial service held for fighter jet production head

A high-profile memorial service was held for Luo Yang this morning in Shenyang, the birthplace of China's new J-15 fighter jet as well as the provincial capital of Liaoning.

Luo, head of the production phase of the J-15, experienced a heart attack on Sunday after observing aircraft carrier flight landing tests for China's first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning. He later died in hospital.

He was also chairman and general manager of Shenyang Aircraft Corp. (SAC), a subsidiary of China's state-owned aircraft maker, Aviation Industry Corp. of China (AVIC).

Thousands of people stood in silence in the Huilonggang Cemetery for Revolutionaries in a tearful farewell to Luo.
