I bet them capturing a few of our planes over the years, has helped with this.

Who's betting the Radome isn't shielded, so all those 'brave soldiers of the Revolution' will shortly end up with Testicular Cancer and brain damage from being microwaved in their flying whirlygig tin-can?

Most of the time any worker that does a good job, gets promoted to management. Once there, they no longer contribute to the design process. It is few and far between that I see any competent engineers in working mainland China. |

Yup, what comes from China is only as good as the designer of said product. Apple isn't going to let their Chinese manufacturing plant, release junk iPhones. Much higher QA standard. We see crap from China because that is what the consumer wants. Cheap crap. But there are exceptions, many exceptions. |

Do they ever do anything original? Oh come on, this is the one time it doesn't count. A plane of this type is like saying the Chinese copied the automobile because theirs also have 4 wheels and a steering wheel. It's a flying radar station, what other type of aircraft could you mount a dish that large onto? Every country wants an AWACS, barely any can afford one. |

The Y-8W / KJ-200 Balanced Beam airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) uses a dual-sided Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) array housed in a dorsal 'plank' fairing which is mounted on the top of a modified Y-8F-600 Category III Platform with JL-4 6-blade propellers.
