Exciting news from the skies! China's AG600 large amphibious aircraft has successfully completed the first subject of its certification flight test, as announced by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) on Saturday.
The milestone airspeed calibration test took place last Friday at a civil aircraft flight test center in Pucheng, located in northwest the Chinese mainland's Shaanxi Province. Conducted by a dedicated flight-test crew from the Chinese civil aviation authority, this test is a crucial step in ensuring the aircraft's performance and safety.
The AG600 is more than just another aircraft. Developed to enhance the country's emergency rescue capabilities, it's designed to carry out missions like firefighting and maritime search and rescue across diverse terrains. With this successful test, the AG600 is one step closer to being certified and operational, ready to make a difference when it's needed the most.
