The Liuchow Kwangsi Type 3 was a Chinese fighter prototype prior to the Second World War.
Developed by Chee Wing Jeang, [lower-alpha 1] the Type 3 was a single-seat fighter biplane, the prototype of which was produced by Liuchow Mechanical and Aircraft Factory. It was of mixed construction with spruce and plywood wooden wings, welded steel tube fuselage and covered in fabric and plywood skinning. It was armed with one 7.7mm synchronised machine gun. [2]
The prototype was flown for the first time in July 1937. The poor performance of the aircraft resulted in no further development being carried out, [2] although the prototype was delivered to the 32nd Squadron of the Chinese Air Force. [1]
