A prototype of the Air Self-Defense Force's next-generation transport aircraft performed its first test flight Tuesday in Kakamigahara, Gifu Prefecture, more than two years behind schedule due to structural integrity problems.
Code-named XC2, the two-engine jet is being developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries.
KHI started work on the plane in 2001 as part of a ¥340 billion government project.
