China Unveils World's Largest Amphibious Aircraft Used To Fight Forest Fires by tunde1200(m): 5:29pm On Jul 24, 2016
China has completed production of the world's largest amphibious aircraft which will be used to fight forest fires and perform marine rescues.

The aircraft, dubbed the AG600, is around the size of a Boeing 737 - far larger than any other plane built to take off and land on water.

It has a maximum flight range of 2,800 miles and can collect 12 tonnes of water in 20 seconds. Its maximum take-off weight of 53.5 tonnes.

The state-owned Aviation Industry Corporation of China unveiled the first of the new planes on Saturday in the southern port city of Zhuhai.

Before the AG600, the largest amphibious cast was the H-4 Hercules, known as the Spruce Goose, which was designed in the 1940s to carry Allied troops into battle.

It is regarded as by far the largest seaplane ever built although it only ever made one flight in 1947. Its wingspan is still longer than the AG600's.

The Chinese plane, which is targeted at the domestic market, will be 'very useful in developing and exploiting marine resources,' local media reported, adding that it could be used for 'environmental monitoring, resource detection and transportation'.

AVIC deputy general manager, Geng Rugang, said the plane was 'the latest breakthrough in China's aviation industry.' A plan for the development and production of the AG600 received government approval in 2009.

China has reverse engineered most american industrial products to solve indigenous industrial need and create self-sufficiency. Very smart mofos.
The chinese communist government must collectively have the highest Intellectual quotient(IQ) in the world today among world leaders.
Try such in Nigeria like innoson is supposedly trying to do and you would hear self-righteous trolls tell us how the design is chinese, taiwanese or siberian.
Even the federal government is irredeemably dumb.

Because you are a lazy fool, who cannot do for himself but is waiting for others to create El Dorado for him. If the Chinese had your mentality 30 years ago, they'd still be suffering today like they were then. That plane, do you think it was their government that built it? It was ordinary Chinese folks from the private sector, just like you. Here in Nigeria, INNOSON is building cars, SUVs, and buses. He's even building parts for our military's fighter jets. Why can't YOU take that further and build helicopters? Who are you waiting for? Those Chinese guys that built that plane, who did they wait for before they started building? Do they have two heads? Lazy asss loafer. Go and choose to be born in Switzerland or Germany, so you don't have to use your brain.
