World's Largest Amphibian Aircraft AG600 Completes First Engine Runs
Feb 28,2017
State-owned AVIC General Aircraft Company Tuesday said it has completed first engine runs on all four engines powering its AG600, the world's largest amphibian aircraft.
The first prototype of the AG600, serial number 001, rolled off a production line in the southern city of Zhuhai last July, and has since undergone a series of rigorous tests.
Between Feb. 11 and 13, all four of its engines performed excellently in tests, according to the manufacturer.
The AG600 is expected to make its first flight in the first half of 2017, two years after the originally-planned 2015.
With a maximum take-off weight of 53.5 tonnes and a maximum range of around 5,000 kilometers, the AG600 is intended for fighting forest fires and performing marine rescues. It also can absorb 12 tonnes of water within 20 seconds.
The AVIC General Aircraft Company has won 17 intent orders for the amphibious aircraft AG600, including two at 2014 Zhuhai Air Show.
According to the forecast, in the next 10 years, the global turbofan/turbojet engine accumulative total demand will exceed 73600 units, worth over USD 416 billion; total demand for turboshaft exceed 34,000 units, worth over USD 19 billion; turboprop engine total demand exceeds 1.6 million units, worth over USD 15 billion; piston engine cumulative total demand over 33,000 units, accounting for more than 60% of the general aviation power market, worth USD 30 billion. Under this background, Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics will hold China Aerospace Propulsion Technology Summit 2017 to promote the development of aerospace propulsion technology, providing strong technical support for aero engine industry. On behalf of the organizing committee, we sincerely invite you to this year¡¯s CAPTS which will be held in Shenyang, on May 24th - 25th, 2017, to discuss aero engine new R&D and manufacturing trends. Hope the CAPTS series activities can bring you the maximum value.
