Being developed from the Xian Y7, itself an Antonov An-24 clone, the MA60 and MA600 share a lot of elements with the original aircraft. The MA60 and MA600 have more and smaller cabin windows, and different cockpit windows as primary recognition points.
As a good Chinese custom the manufacturer has looked well at comparable aircraft. You can clearly see that the wings and engines of the Xian Y-20 nearly identical to that of the Ilyushin 76. The tail could very well come from the C-17. Only the nose is different from those to aircraft, making recognition easy.
Like the Comac C919 the MC-21 can be seen as a clone of the A320. The difference with the C919 is clear, as the Chinese aircraft has four cockpit windows and the MC-21 six. To distinguish the MC-21 from the A320 it is best to look at the wingtips. For now the MC-21 has no winglets.
This family of fighters with liquid cooled engines has straight wings with rounded tips and straight edges. The main gears retract inward in the wings. There is a cooler underneath the middle of the fuselage, and most versions also have intakes in the wing roots.
The Yak-130 was at first a joint venture between Yakovlev and Aermacchi, but in the end both manufacturers went their own way. Hence, the resemblance between the Yak-130 and M346 is not remarkable. The Yak-130 has small nose gear doors and trailing link landing gear legs as main recognition points.
On the photo the Yak-141 looks like a normal fighter with wedge shaped air intakes, though somewhat 'boxy'. However, it is a a V/STOL aircraft with two jet engines mounted almost vertically, behind the cockpit. The third engine has a swivelling exhaust in between the tail booms, that hold small vertical stabilisers.
The Yak-18 (and Nanchang CJ5 license built Chinese version) is especially recognised by the cowling that is wrapped around the five pistons of the radial engine. Furthermore, it has a main gear that partially retracts in the wings, rearward.
Thanks to the large diameter prop on the radial piston engine the Yak-18T has quite a long gear. Other features are the rounded tail of fabric covered frames, and inner wings without dihedral. Finally, the cockpit/cabin has windows in the roof as well.
Like similar Yakovlev designs the air intake in the nose feeds a jet engine which has the exhaust underneath the middle of the fuselage. The cockpit is about above the exhaust. The Yak-23 is recognised by the trapezium shaped, non-swept and cruciform tail.
The Yak-25 is a fighter bomber aircraft that has engines in long pods under the wings and a tandem undercarriage, like other Yakovlev designs. The aft main gear is below the wings. Most versions of the family have a blunt nose.
