Note:
(a) 安东诺夫 Antonov
(b) Hongdu L-15 Falcon 猎鹰
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hongdu_L-15
(manufacturer Nanchang-based Hongdu Aviation Industry (Group) Corporation 洪都航空; twin engines of each aircraft made by Ivchenko-Progress ZMKB; supersonic; introduced 2008; )

I am at sea as to why Ivchenko-Progress ZMKB is translated as 西奇发动机公司. Just now I searched the web with the latter and found nothing.
(c) 雅克-130教练机 Yakovlev Yak-130 (manufacturer Yakovlev; introduced 2009)

The manufacturer is formed in 1934 under designer Alexander Sergeyevich Yakovlev. Wikipedia.

My comment:

The web site of the company does not say much. So there is no need to visit.
