The person in charge of China's J-15 carrier-based fighter-bomber development program died of heart attack yesterday morning after two J-15 jets had successfully completed a take-off and landing exercise, China Central Television Reported.
The report said Luo Yang, was rushed to hospital from China's first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, after the heart attack but an emergency rescue failed to save him. He died at 11am yesterday. Luo reportedly had the heart attack on the carrier after it returned to its home port in Dalian in northeast Liaoning Province following the jet exercise.
Two J-15 fighter jets had successfully landed and taken off from the Liaoning carrier on this weekend and this represented a milestone on the vessel's path to full combat ability. The exercise also marked the debut of the J-15, also known as the Flying Shark, which is developed by China from Russia's Sukhoi Su-33. The exercise was carried out two months after the carrier entered service.
As chairman and general manager of the Shenyang Aircraft Industry Group, which develops the J-15 aircraft, Luo is the general supervisor of the development program.
