BEIJING (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 4th Mar, 2021 ) :China's locally developed AG600 large amphibious aircraft has entered a new flight test phase targeting its firefighting capacities, announced its developer Thursday.
The AG600 aircraft on Thursday completed the first flight test of its aerial water-dropping functions in Jingmen, central China's Hubei Province, said the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC).
It marked a major step forward for the development of the large amphibious aircraft model, which is of great importance to the country in strengthening its natural disaster prevention and emergency rescue capacities.
