Xi'an Y-7

The Xi'an Y-7 (Chinese: 运-7; pinyin: Yùn-qī)[a] is a twin turboprop transport/passenger aircraft built in China.

[2] The Chinese aircraft equated to the An-24RV, having a full complement of windows and the booster jet engine.

The majority of early deliveries were to the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF), mostly as transports, with a few in 52-seat airliner configuration for the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).

After the initial licensed production run, the Y-7 was developed separately from the An-24 with a succession of upgrades culminating in the Xi'an MA60 (Modern Ark) series.

[2] A tactical transport derivative was copied, unlicensed, from the Antonov An-26 and emerged as the Y-7H, incorporating the cargo ramp door and military equipment of the An-26.
