China’s second batch-produced AG600 “Kunlong” amphibious aircraft has soared through its production test flight skies over Zhuhai City in Guangdong Province. This big milestone brings the jet🛩️ one step closer to hitting the water for real-world missions and heading towards customer delivery.
A four-person crew took the AG600-1102 for a full workout, including:
- 🚤 Ground taxiing trials
- 🔍 General inspections
- 🖥️ Mission system evaluations
- ☁️ High-altitude flight tests
After a smooth landing, engineers confirmed all systems—controls, avionics, and engines—were in perfect shape. Next stop? A trip to Yichang in Hubei Province where the aircraft will don its final paint scheme before moving on to clients.
This successful test flight shows the AG600 meets its design specs and safety standards, marking it ready for delivery and real-world operations—from firefighting to search-and-rescue missions. The “Kunlong” is gearing up to make waves both on land and water! 🌊
