The company was founded in 1952 to manufacture planes for domestic sales, but today it supplies various components for foreign aerospace companies. It is a subsidiary of the [[Aviation Industry Corporation of China]] (AVIC).

A former subsidiary of Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation &mdash; [[Hafei Motor]], was one of the major automobile manufactures in China.

==History==

The 1st factory opened in 1952 to repair aircraft and situated on the former site of the [[Manchuria Airplane Manufacturing Company]] (Manshū/Mansyuu) factory. In 1958, it began producing licensed copies of [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] aircraft. It produced the Z-5, the [[Mil Mi-4]] [[helicopter]], and the H-5 light bomber &mdash; a copy of the [[Ilyushin Il-28]].

It then produced the [[Harbin Y-11]] a light twin-engined utility aircraft &mdash; an aircraft of its own design and not a licensed copy. The [[Harbin Y-12]] which followed, while similar to the Y-11, was a largely new aircraft.

The most recent and important product is the Z-20 utility helicopter designed and built for the Chinese military.

==Subsidiaries==
* [[Hafei Aviation]], a manufacturer of light airplanes, helicopters and aerospace parts.
* [[Hafei Motors]], defunct producer of automobile engines; sedans; MPVs; and mini vehicles, small trucks and vans that see commercial use. Subsidiaries include the auto-making Hafei Motor Co Ltd and the engine maker Harbin Dongan Auto Engine Co.
