Argentine Officials Interested In Joint-Production Of JF-17 Fighter Jet

JF-17 Multirole Fighter Jet  

Officials from Argentine aerospace company Fabrica Argentina de Aviones (FAdeA) told at the 2013 Paris Air Show that they have had multiple discussions with Chinese officials over potential co-production of the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC) FC-1/JF-17 Multirole combat aircraft.


Discussions are far from concluded, with FAdeA officials saying "technology transfer" issues remain a sticking point. Nonetheless, the discussions are the first formal effort that could lead to the co-production of a modern Chinese fighter in Latin America.
