Chinese amphibian surprised everyone with its size.

The Chinese obviously love all really great and unusual. Recently the country has successfully passed the first test of the new amphibian aircraft, which are unmatched in the world in size, not in specifications, not a water landing (especially when its that size!).

Eight years of development, millions of dollars of investment, and now China, in service is, perhaps, the largest amphibian, which only created people. Recently the car successfully took to the sky and held its first test flight. Called this miracle of technology AG600. In the process of developing the machine was code named “Kunlong”. The first flight lasted for an hour. The machine rose into the sky at 3 thousand meters. The tests took place in the civil airport of Zhuhai.

The amphibious aircraft AG600, as you can guess, can land on water. The dimensions machine is comparable to a Boeing 737. Wingspan Chinese giant is 38.8 meters. Fuselage length is, in turn, 39.6 meters. The plane was designed by Chinese designers and yet to be applied only on the territory of China.

What will you do such a wonderful machine? AG600 was created specifically for use in emergency situations. The aircraft can be used for the transport of experts and equipment to the scene of the disaster. It can also be used for transporting victims from the disaster zone. Finally, the AG600 amphibian can be used to extinguish fires, and the aircraft is doing a little better. The machine can take off and land even when the sea rises 6.5-foot waves.

The plane obviously is a strategic development. The fact that at least 98% of all components used to create AG600 are made in China. It also indicates a high level of development of industry and of civil aviation in China in recent years. The creators also confirmed that a number of new amphibians will be taken by the army and will be based in the South China sea.
