History
Dongfang Aerospace Industries, formerly known as Dongfang Aircraft Company, was founded on March 15, 1914 in Kodeshia. It played a crucial role in the early history of Kodeshia's military aviation, manufacturing the nation's most produced fighter biplanes, the Df.10J type.

One of the company's most notable joint ventures was the Kurogane/Dongfang H.47 Bailong. This strategic bomber was developed in partnership with Kurogane Aircraft Company of Akiteiwa and was the first major joint Akitei-Kodeshi military aircraft program. The H.47 entered service in the post-war years and was the first bomber capable of delivering any nuclear weapon in the Akitei and Kodeshi arsenals without requiring modifications to the aircraft.

Another major joint venture between Kurogane and Dongfang Aerospace Industries was the Kurogane/Dongfang H.50 Shenlong. This supersonic strategic bomber was developed with the latest technology, including the capability for aerial refuelling and the ability to carry air-launched cruise missiles. It provides both Akiteiwa and Kodeshia with a long-range, precision-guided offensive air capability.

In the commercial aviation industry, Dongfang Aerospace Industries has developed the Kurogane/Dongfang KDJ-150 International, a long-range narrow-body airliner. Marketed as the Kurogane-Dongfang Jet (KDJ), this aircraft has been operated by numerous airlines worldwide since its unveiling in 1966 and its entry into service the following year. It has also been developed into a number of specialized military models, including a military airlifter.
