The Xian MA60 (新舟60, ''Xīnzhōu 60'', "Modern Ark 60") is a turboprop-powered airliner produced by China's Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation under the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC). The MA60 is a stretched version of the Xian Y7-200A,〔("MA60 is derived from Y7-200A by the application of better performance engine, state-of-the-art avionics package and new maintenance methodology." )〕 which was produced based on the An-24 to operate in rugged conditions with limited ground support and has short take-off and landing (STOL) capability.〔(Up close and personal with the Xi’an MA60 | The Jakarta Post )〕 The airplane received its type certificate from the Civil Aviation Administration of China in June 2000. The MA60 has not applied for FAA(US) and EASA(Europe) type certification, and is not certified for use in the European Union or the USA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tonga travel advice - GOV.UK )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Quality of Chinese-made plane questioned after crash )〕 The general designer of MA-60 series is Mr. Lü Hai (吕海).
