| Under the direction of Chee Wing Jeang, the Liuchow Mechanical and Aircraft Factory in the Chinese province of Kwangsi - which had achieved a measure of autonomy in 1937 - completed prototypes of two aircraft, the Kwangsi Types 2 and 3. Both were unequal-span biplanes with spruce and plywood wings, and fabric-covered welded steel-tube fuselages, and were respectively a tandem two-seat trainer and a single-seat lightweight fighter. The latter, the Type 3, was powered by an Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah IIA seven-cylinder radial rated at 260hp at 760m and carried an armament of a single 7.7mm machine gun synchronised to fire through the propeller. The Type 3 was flown in July 1937, but performance proved insufficient to justify further development.
