01/31/2008. The 'Q' in the designation stands for Qiangjiji, meaning
Attack aircraft, hence the Q-5 designation is sometimes Westernized to
A-5. The Q-5 has been derived from the F-6/MiG-19 produced in China,

the single nose air intake, while the engine and main wing structure
remained unchanged. |
