China has become the world's fourth country that is capable of developing on its own advanced fighter planes, engines and missiles, said Geng Ruguang, deputy general manager of the China Aviation Industry Corporation I (AVIC I).

China has successfully developed the new-generation fighter plane Jian-10, or Fighter-10, the Taihang turbofan engine and air-to-air missiles.

China's home-made new-generation fighter aircraft, the Jian-10 (Fighter-10), made its debut in Beijing on Friday.

A five-minute-long video film revealed how the fighter takes off, lands, fires missiles and flies in formation.

The Jian-10 and the Taihang turbofan engine, both with proprietary intellectual property rights (IPR), heralded the third generation of Chinese fighter aircraft and military aero-engines, said Geng.

He said the Chinese Air Force had been equipped with the country's newly-developed fourth-generation air-to-air missiles.
