The L15 supersonic advanced trainer aircraft was originally developed as a "foreign trade model" by the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. As a foreign trade aircraft, its mission is to go global and enter the market, so the country does not have many taboos on main combat aircraft in terms of publicity and reporting. The identity of L15 determines that it will inevitably become the focus of public attention.

The aircraft’s developer, Hongdu Aviation Industry Group (a subsidiary of AVIC), has conducted a large amount of publicity on the L15 from the beginning. Since the Zhuhai Air Show in 2002, the L15 model has become a must-see on the Chinese aviation industry booth at various air shows.

In 2006, the first flight of the L15 prototype set off a climax. Since then, the aviation industry has always listed the L15 as a key publicity target. Every subsequent prototype of the aircraft has been launched into the sky, and central-level media including CCTV have been invited to report on it.

Second, the aircraft’s developer, "Hongdu Aviation," is known as a banner of the domestic A-share military industry sector. Hongdu Airlines is a professional domestic manufacturer of military training aircraft. The K8 intermediate trainer aircraft produced by this group is selling well overseas. Hongdu Airlines wants to use the L15 to continue the glory of the K8 and regard the L15 as a "star" to attract the attention of investors. As a listed company, it is not difficult to understand Hongdu’s efforts to promote L15. At the same time, due to Hongdu's A-share listing, the L15 "Falcon" has not only attracted the attention of domestic military fans, but has also become a hot topic among analysts from major securities analysis institutions.

Third, the advanced design concept and beautiful appearance of the L15 "Falcon" are important factors that win the favor of military fans. French aircraft design master Dassault has a famous saying: "A good-looking aircraft must be a good aircraft." The appearance of an aircraft is closely related to its design concept and performance. After getting accustomed to traditional domestic fighter jets such as the J-8 with a fuselage as slender as a "flying pencil", the appearance of the avant-garde L15 gave the majority of domestic military fans a feeling of "a sudden burst of rain".

Although the L15 advanced trainer aircraft has excellent performance and affordable price, its engine is a Ukrainian AI-222-25F turbofan engine, which has not been domestically produced and is subject to others. Therefore, the Chinese Air Force has not purchased it. This cannot be It would be a pity not to say it. However, China is negotiating with Ukraine to introduce this engine technology. If successful, I believe the L15 will definitely enter the Chinese Air Force sequence.

The L15 advanced trainer aircraft has received orders from Latin American and African countries (Hongdu did not specify those countries). The first batch of ***12 aircraft, with a unit price of 80 million yuan, undoubtedly foreshadows the L15 The future is bright.

Compared with the "JJ-7" supersonic trainer aircraft of the same class currently in service in China, the L15 advanced trainer aircraft has good overall aerodynamic performance, high maneuverability, large thrust-to-weight ratio, and long service life. It has the advantages of reasonable structural design, advanced manufacturing technology, high flexibility in mission use and high development potential. In terms of overall technical standards, it is equivalent to the T-50, "Mark" (MAKO) and Yak-130 advanced trainer aircraft currently under development abroad. It is effective in Its payload capacity and maneuverability can even be compared with light fighter-bombers such as the Jaguar.
