China Aviation Industry Corporation I (AVIC I) was a Chinese consortium of aircraft manufacturers. The consortium was created on July 1, 1999 by splitting the state-owned consortium China Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC) into AVIC I and AVIC II. AVIC I was historically focused on large planes such as bombers (Xian H-6, Xian JH-7), medium commercial planes (ARJ21), or fighter planes (J-7, J-8, J-10, J-11, and JF-17), while AVIC II was focused on smaller planes and helicopters. On October 28, 2008, the companies officially consolidated back into one organization to more efficiently manage resources and avoid redundant projects.
