BTW, it might be two WS-20 engines being tested on an IL-76.

It's the IL-76 look at the tail, the Y-20 has one like a lower case t like the C-17. But yea its two WS-20 tested on IL-76 which suggest that the WS-20 will be installed on faster.

That is awesome, the C17 has a payload of about 77 tons. The development of the Y20 is comparable to the development of both the stealth fighters, strategic airlift will bring the PLA - truly into global power status.

Max payload of Y-20 is 66tons. But thats becos its our military requirement since the latest Type99A2 is 54 tons while US M1A2 weights 72 tons. When WS-20 engine has refine,I bet 66tons payload will increase.

May payload of Y-20 is 66tons. But thats becos its our military requirement since the latest Type99A2 is 54 tons while US M1A2 weights 72 tons. When WS-20 engine has refine,I bet 66tons payload will increase.

Even a 66 ton capability is awesome, still would qualify as strategic airlift.

With the WS-20 engine, the payload will become over 70 tons for sure.

[ACE OF THE AIR]

Will this be also used as air to air refueler?

Will this be also used as air to air refueler?

Definitely but it needs to be operational first as a basic military transporter before we talk about other variants.

66 Ton really is enough. Remember Chinese soldiers also weight less than American ones.
