The Beijing 1 (also known as the Beijing No.1 or Peking No.1) was a prototype twin-engined small airliner of the 1950s designed and built in the People's Republic of China. Only one example was built, the type not entering production.
The Beijing 1 made its maiden flight on 24 September 1958, and was handed over to the Chinese civil aviation authorities on 1 October 1958, the 9th anniversary of the establishment of the People's Republic of China. It was the first passenger airliner designed and built in the People's Republic.
Although contemporary reports suggested that the type entered service with Civil Aviation Administration of China,no production followed, with only the single prototype being built. It is now preserved at the Beijing Aviation Museum.
