The first flight of China AG600 can be put out with 12 tons of water.

On the morning of July 26th, 2020, Beijing time, in the sea area near Tuandao, Qingdao, the large-scale fire fighting/water rescue amphibious aircraft "Kunlong" AG600, which was independently developed by China, successfully made its first flight at sea with the attention of the audience and the people of the whole country, laying the foundation for the next sea flight test of the aircraft and the verification of its related performance.

Amphibious aircraft are high-tech equipment in the world, especially large amphibious aircraft. Before the first flight of China AG600, only Russian and Japanese had this kind of aircraft. Even in the United States, where military technology is very advanced, there are no large amphibious aircraft. Unlike helicopters, amphibious aircraft are more like a combination of aircraft and ships.

Due to the limitation of size and positioning, helicopters are not as good as amphibious aircraft in terms of load and manned. In addition, helicopters have high requirements for take-off and landing conditions, and they cannot take off and land in foggy and windy weather. On the other hand, amphibious aircraft can take off and land. China AG600 amphibious aircraft completed its first land flight as early as 2065438+200765438+February 24th. On July 26th, 2020, it completed its first water flight. Compared with the land airport, the water take-off and landing time is short, but there are many unknown factors, which are more prone to danger.

The success of the first flight indicates that China has achieved great success in the field of large amphibious aircraft. By analyzing the performance of AG600 amphibious aircraft, we found that this aircraft can be engaged in fire fighting and fire fighting. After its wide fuselage is sealed, it can carry 12 tons of fresh water, which is enough to put out general fires, and the single fire extinguishing area can reach more than 4000 square meters. More importantly, because AG600 can take off and land on land and water.

Therefore, it can shuttle back and forth between the fire and the lake. For cities with reservoirs or lakes around them, AG600 will definitely play a great role in fire fighting. As a multi-functional aircraft, AG600 has other functions besides fire fighting, specifically, rescue at sea. First of all, the maximum speed of this plane is 460 kilometers per hour! Although it is not as fast as a jet plane, it also ensures the fastest arrival at the rescue site.

In addition to flying fast, it also flies far, with a voyage of 4000 kilometers, which can basically cover the whole South China Sea. Whether in Yongxing Island or Zengmu shoal, AG600 can arrive in the first time. One rescue can rescue 50 people in distress, which is more efficient than ordinary lifeboats 10 times! For maritime rescue, time is often life, and behind the efficiency of 10 is one tenth of the time cost. So it can be said that AG600 is a rescue artifact.

With the successful first flight of AG600, the West can no longer sit still. As China moves towards the blue water, the demand for ocean-going operations will become more and more obvious. Once someone is in distress in the ocean, how to rescue them in the first place becomes very important. Compared with the rescue helicopter, the weather requirements are too high and the speed of the rescue ship is too slow. Amphibious aircraft became the best choice. Its speed is faster than that of rescue boats, and its weather requirements are not as high as those of helicopters, so it is very suitable for ocean rescue.

In addition, the AG600 amphibious aircraft also has a strong material transportation capacity. For a small island reef without an airport, the AG600 amphibious aircraft can deliver materials to the island reef in the first time. This is very important for China to control the remote islands and reefs, and it also makes some countries lose the opportunity to stir up trouble.
