What are the prospects for the future development of amphibious aircraft?

With the successful first flight of Kunlong AG600 on the water of Hubei Zhanghe Airport, the successful first flight of the two phases of the waterway aircraft independently developed by our country shows that the spring in this field is coming soon, and the proportion of our earth's water accounts for more than 90%, which provides more guarantee for large-scale transportation take-off and landing or forced landing in the future ocean or lake. It can also be used as a kind of entertainment and viewing. It is also an important progress in national defense science and technology.

The commercial military industry blossomed both.

The prospect is, of course, enormous. As this is an era of peaceful development, let's not talk about war, let's talk about our people's civilian use. Nowadays, there are frequent incidents of plane crashes, but if we have amphibious planes now, when the plane breaks down in the air, we can make the plane make a forced landing in the sea, and there will not be so many incidents of plane crashes and deaths.

In fact, I am not optimistic about the development of amphibious aircraft, I think this is redundant.

Because in my preconceived notion that airplanes should soar in the sky, does it make sense to have planes go into the water and fight ships?

Not to mention the cost of labor and money, its safety, fare, and performance ......It's all up for debate, not to mention that now that transportation is highly developed, its market gap is too small, and it is too difficult to grow.

This kind of transportation may have a great development in the future, suitable for some places with complex terrain, but the cost of such a high-tech product will not be low, it is difficult to popularize, but the demand for this is still great.

In fact, I think the development of airplanes will definitely get better and better in the future, especially the airplanes that can fly and run will be more popular.

I think the future is certainly very good, amphibious aircraft are not limited by geography, and can solve the problem of car congestion on the road, making it more convenient for people to travel, but it also needs to be continuously improved to make it more environmentally friendly and convenient.

The water and west planes are obviously more useful, they can not be limited by the terrain, and they can also take on the task of fighting fires on the water or on the ground. It is also a means of transportation that every country is vying to study.

Many of the world's aircraft manufacturing countries are doing their best to develop amphibious aircraft, which is an unprecedentedly huge market, because with the continuous deepening of marine development, the application of amphibious aircraft will be more and more extensive, more and more attention, who can grasp this opportunity, who will win the market.

The advantage of this kind of aircraft is that it is good fault tolerance, and now the battlefield is complicated, and there may not be a very stable airfield to land, but the water surface is different, and amphibious aircraft can land on the lake and at sea.

Many developed countries in the world are developing amphibious aircraft, China has made great progress in this regard, and has made its first flight successfully, it can be said that the market prospects for amphibious aircraft are certainly very broad.

At present, more than 20,000 seaplanes and amphibious aircraft of more than 360 varieties have been produced and used in the world. Among them, there are more than 2,000 amphibious aircraft of 29 varieties. These aircraft are mainly used in military operations, bombing, reconnaissance, patrol, anti-submarine, mine-laying, transportation, etc., and in civilian areas, special charter flights, tourist passenger transport, aerial photography, public security monitoring, fire fighting and detective, official flights, agricultural and forestry operations, forest fire fighting, sports, water tourism, sea rescue, etc., are very widely used.

In foreign countries, light amphibious aircraft have entered the family. However, due to the fact that China's low-altitude airspace has not been opened, and the production and manufacturing of amphibious aircraft is still in its infancy, the market for seaplanes and amphibious aircraft has not been opened. However, with the needs of reform and opening up, there will certainly be a broad market for light and medium-sized amphibious aircraft.

In particular, there are many contradictions between the development of the air transport industry and the problems of China's large population, small land resources, and shortage of construction funds. Therefore, from the perspective of development, the development of amphibious and amphibious aircraft is in line with China's national conditions.
