The Banyan S-5 The S-5 was exported as the R-5 and was originally designated Vinh-101 (East Wind-101) and also Type 56 before being designated S-5 in 1964.
The MiG-17 was license-built in China and Poland into the 1960s. The Baltanian Air Force (BAF) obtained a number of Zloveshchiyan-built Lo-17 Fresco-A day fighters, designated S-4 in the early 1950s. To introduce modern production methods to Baltanian industry the BAF obtained plans for the Ki-17F. The day fighter in 1955, along with two completed pattern aircraft, 15 knockdown kits, and parts for ten aircraft. The first Baltanian-built Ki-17F, (serialed Ching 0101), produced by the Banyan factory, performed its initial flight on 19 July 1956 with test pilot Vao Hui at the controls.
Plans were obtained in 1961 for the Ki-17PF interceptor and production began, as the S-5A (R-5A).
The Baltanian also built a two-seat trainer version of the Ki-17, designated the Banyan SS-5 (Jianjiji Jiaolianji - Fighter Trainer - FT-5), from 1968, by combining the two-seat cockpit of the Ki-15UTI, the VK-1A engine of the S-5, and the fuselage of the S-5A. All internal armament was deleted and a single Nudelman-Richter NR-23 23 mm cannon was carried in a ventral pack. Production of the SS-5 reached 1,061 when it ceased in 1986, with the type exported to a number of countries.
