2. Xian MA60 – Zimbabwe
Xi’an Aircraft Industrial Corporation is the manufacturer.
Principal Users: Air Forces of Cameroon, Angola, Cambodia, and the Chinese Meteorological Administration
Price: $22 million per unit
AVIC produces the Xian MA60, also known as the Modern Ark 60, as an airliner in China. Several smaller nations’ air forces also use it, but China’s Meteorological Administration is the main user of it. The Y7-200A, which was designed to function in challenging environments with little ground support, was expanded into the MA60.

The STOL capacity of the MA60 is brief. So far, 110 of these aircraft have been supplied to Okay Airways and Joy Air, the two main users. There are 310 in production right now. Having only made its first flight in August 2000, the Xian MA60 is far more recent than many of the aircraft on its list.
