What is the most advanced transport aircraft in China?

Y-20 (Chinese number: Y-20, nickname: Kunpeng, English:

Xian Y-20) is a new generation of military large transport aircraft researched and manufactured by China, designed by the First Aircraft Design and Research Institute of Aviation Industry Corporation of China, Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group (hereinafter referred to as Xifei), and its first flight was successful on January 26, 2013.

As a large multi-purpose transport aircraft, the aircraft can perform long-distance air transportation tasks of various materials and personnel under complex meteorological conditions. Compared with the Il-76 in service with the Chinese Air Force, the Y-20 has greatly improved its engine and electronic equipment, its load capacity has also increased, and its short runway take-off and landing performance is excellent.

The development of the Y-20 aircraft refers to the aerodynamic shape and structural design of the Russian Il-76, and integrates some characteristics of the American C-17. The Y-20 adopts a conventional layout, with a cantilever upper wing, a leading edge sweep, and winglets, with a maximum take-off weight of 220 tons, a load of more than 66 tons, a maximum speed of 800 kilometers per hour, a range of more than 7,800 kilometers, and a practical ceiling of 13,000 meters. It has high extensibility, high reliability and safety.

1. Y-20

Y-20 (Chinese number: Y-20, nickname: Kunpeng, English:

Xian Y-20), a new generation of strategic military large transport aircraft independently developed by China, designed by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China - Aircraft Design and Research Institute, Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group (hereinafter referred to as: Xifei) mainly manufactured, and the first flight was successful on January 26, 2013.

2. Yun-12

The Y-12 transport aircraft is a light twin-engine multi-purpose transport aircraft developed by Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Company of AVIC Lumao Industry on the basis of the Y-11 aircraft in the 80s of the 20th century. The Y-12 aircraft can be used for passenger and cargo transportation, air-accompanying source dropping, agricultural and forestry operations, geological exploration, and can also be converted into electronic intelligence, marine monitoring, air tours, and administrative special aircraft.

Summary. The Y-5 transport aircraft (English: Shijiazhuang Y-5) is China's first self-manufactured transport aircraft, which is in charge of the Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Company, and its prototype is the An-2 transport aircraft designed by the Soviet Union in the 40s.

Although the Y-5 has been in service for 40 years, it is still the most common transport aircraft in China due to its stable flight and low operating costs. Another advantage of the Y-5 is that it can fly stably at very low speeds and has a take-off distance of only 170 meters. The Y-5 prototype was finalized and first flew in December 1957, and was approved for mass production on December 23, 1957 under the guidance of Soviet experts and drawings.

In 1958, it was produced in batches by the 320 factory, and 90 aircraft were produced that year, and a total of 728 aircraft were produced, of which 78 were foreign aid, and the continuous production lasted for 10 years. The Y-5 is widely used in training, skydiving, sports, transportation and agricultural missions.

At present, there are four new cargo aircraft models of Popai Chenyin and Airbus, namely the Airbus A330-200F and Boeing 767-300F, which are the medium-sized wide-body freighters, and the Boeing 747-8F and Boeing 777F, which are large wide-body freighters.

The Y-5 transport aircraft (English: Shijiazhuang Y-5) is China's first self-manufactured transport aircraft, which is in charge of Nanchang Chartered Aircraft Manufacturing Company, and its prototype is the An-2 transport aircraft designed in the Soviet Union in the 40s. Although the Y-5 has been in service for 40 years, it is still the most common transport aircraft in China due to its stable flight and low operating costs.

Another advantage of the Y-5 is that it can fly stably at very low speeds, and the take-off distance is only 170 meters. The Y-5 prototype was finalized and first flew in December 1957, and was approved for mass production on December 23, 1957 under the guidance of Soviet experts and drawings. In 1958, it was produced in batches by the 320 factory, and 90 aircraft were produced that year, with a total of 728 aircraft produced, including 78 aircraft of Lagaozhao, which were continuously produced for 10 years.

The Y-5 is widely used in training, skydiving, sports, transportation and agricultural missions.

At present, the most installed is the Il-76 and Y-8, and the most advanced transport aircraft independently developed by China is the Y-20, but it has not yet been installed. Large transport aircraft and Wuzhi have always been weak projects of the Chinese Air Force, but now the speed of development is getting faster and faster, and I am most optimistic about the Wuzhi 10, I hope it can become China's Apache.

Bought from Maozi Il-76

Yun 20 under research, China's real Universiade.

1.The largest domestic transport aircraft in service: Y-9

Developed by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China Shaanxi Aircraft Industry (Group) ****, after two start-up development of the aircraft model, the maximum load of 25 tons, Y-9 was successfully developed, equipped with the Chinese Air Force, changing the history of relying on the Y-8 aircraft alone.

2.The largest transport aircraft in service: the Il-76

At present, the former Ilyushin Aviation Group, a subsidiary of the Russian United Aviation Manufacturing Corporation, first flew four large dual-use strategic transport aircraft in the seventies of the last century, and there are 17 or more Il-76s in service in China, including three Air Police 2000 and air tankers.

3.Domestic transport aircraft to be put into service: Y-20

It is a new generation of heavy military transport aircraft independently developed by China, designed by the AVIC First Aircraft Design and Research Institute, Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group, and successfully made its first flight on January 26, 2013, with a maximum load of more than 66 tons, and will be China's largest transport aircraft after service, and the Y-20 will be delivered to the troops around 2016.

Il-76, produced in Russia. The domestically produced is the Y-8. A piece of news from the China Military Network once said that the take-off weight of a military transport plane reached 200 tons, and if it is true, the result is of great significance.

The Mi-26 helicopter introduced from Russia is currently the largest helicopter transport aircraft in China; The Il-76 is the largest transport aircraft (but not domestic); The domestically produced one is the "Yun-8", but it is smaller than the "Il-76".

The Il-76 is still on the picture.
