BEIJING — China's domestically developed AG600, the world's largest amphibious aircraft, performed its maiden flight on Sunday (Dec 24) from an airport on the shores of the South China Sea, the latest step in a military modernization programme.

China has stepped up research on advanced military equipment as it adopts a more muscular approach to territorial disputes in places such as the disputed South China Sea, rattling nerves in the Asia-Pacific region and the United States.

Actually no big deal la.

Many of the aviation companies can do it. They've had it since ww2.

 

It's not due to technical difficulties, it's a matter of operational need. No one else sees the need for such a plane except China.. so they build lor.

 

It's like making the world's biggest piece of Bak kwa for cny.. it's not a big deal.

If it is not well protected, then it is the biggest.....

 

 

target.

 

Think this type of plane will never fly behind enemy lines or areas. Likely to fly only in safe zones and beyond. Anyway, with the current technology, no matter what size or even not visible to the human eyes but as long as it is pick up by the radar far far away already becomes target. Shooting a target need not be seen by human, seen by the machinery will do leow. You can run but cannot hide.
