The world's largest amphibious aircraft is preparing to make the first target flight.

According to Avia.pro information and news agency, the Chinese amphibian aircraft, AVIC AG600 developed by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, is already being prepared by engineers and technicians for its first target flight. It is assumed that this aircraft will transport cargo between two Chinese cities, and in case the flight justifies itself, as early as 2018, Chinese aircraft manufacturers are ready to start serial production of these aircraft.

It should be clarified that initially the AVIC AG600 aircraft was designed to fight fires, but later it became known that this aircraft could also transport large loads and carry up to 50 people on its board.
