Y-20 heavy transport aircraft News & Discussions

[mDumb]

I think China should build transport plane that can carry at least two companies of fully equipped special forces that are equipped with IFVs, tanks, helicopters, artillery pieces, and anti aircraft missiles.

China has many islands in far away places to defend.

This just makes me proud! This is a step that projects China into the elite class of aviation.

I'm not surprised, what I am waiting to see is China's Stealth Bomber.

Y-20 CG anamation

I just want to know, nothing to provoke.

Now Y-20 prototype using 4x D-30 , it will change domestic jet engines(WS-20) later.
Refer to 2011-2012 year old news i read, i think 1st groups of Y-20 still install D-30 Coz 2011 year China ordered 100+ D-30 jet engines from Russia, some for PLAAF H-6 and IL-76 and some for new domestic planes like Y-20.

Anyway China had prepared 2 steps for military jet engines: 1st imported from Russia, 2nd developing domestic jet engines.And it's good news that new PLAAF J-11B fighters using domestic 2x WS-10A jet engines(pics in Leio's PLA Military Photo thread),PLAAF new J-11B and J-10B all using domestic WS-10A, old J-11 and J-10A still using Russia AL-31F jet engines until they retire.
(Difference in AL-31F and WS-10A's structure shape, can't replace inside the same aircraft-body.)
