China's homegrown AG600 large amphibious aircraft, codenamed Kunlong, succeeded in its maiden flight over sea on Sunday morning in Qingdao, east China's Shandong province, said State-owned plane-maker Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC). The successful maiden flight from the sea is a major step forward in the development of this large amphibious aircraft following its maiden flight in 2017 and first takeoff from a water reservoir in 2018, said the AVIC.航空工业集团宣布,中国自主研制的大型水陆两栖飞机“鲲龙”AG600于7月26日上午在山东青岛成功实现海上首飞。这是AG600飞机继2017年陆上首飞、2018年水上首飞之后,又迈出的关键一步。
【知识点】
“鲲龙”AG600是我国研制的可用于森林灭火(forest firefighting)和水上救援(marine rescue)的大型水陆两栖飞机(large amphibious aircraft),具有速度快、机动性好、搜索范围广、搜索效率高、安全性好、装载量大等特点。
森林灭火时,它可多次往返高效率投水灭火,20秒内可一次汲水12吨(collect 12 tons of water in 20 seconds),单次投水救火面积可达4000余平方米,接近一个足球场的面积。海上救援时,“鲲龙”可快速响应、到达,在复杂气象条件下实施救援,起降抗浪能力不低于2米,可一次救助50名海上遇险人员(carry 50 people during search-and-rescue missions)。
“鲲龙”与我国运—20大型运输机(the Y-20 transport plane)、C919大型喷气式客机(the C919 jetliner)一起,被称为中国大飞机“三剑客”。
Codenamed Kunlong, the AG600 is a key aeronautical equipment in China's emergency rescue system, said the AVIC.
航空工业集团表示,“鲲龙”AG600是国家应急救援体系的重大航空装备。
The AG600 is designed to meet the country's demands for forest firefighting, marine rescue and other critical emergency rescue missions. It is also the first time that China's aviation industry has developed a special-mission large civil aircraft model.“鲲龙”AG600是我国为满足森林灭火和水上救援以及其他紧急救援任务的迫切需要研发的,同时也是我国航空业首次研发执行特殊任务的大型民用航空器。
航空工业集团副总经理陈元先表示,AG600项目将开展灭火型试验(firefighting test),计划2023年完成灭火型研制,并尽早投入使用。
