Re: Kunlong: China Unveils World's Largest Amphibious Aircraft For Marine Rescue

in china •  7 years ago 

The amphibious aircraft has military applications but will be used for firefighting and marine rescue, with at least 17 orders placed so far with state-owned manufacturer Aviation Industry Corp of China, state media reported.

'Its 4,500-km operational range and ability to land andtake off from water makes it well-suited for deployment over China's artificial islands.

The AG600 can carry 50 during maritime search-and-rescue missions, and can scoop up 12 metric tons of water within 20 seconds for fire fighting trips.http://www.nairaland.com/4256772/kunlong-china-unveils-worlds-largest#63670636Screenshot_20171228-142435.png
