厲害了! 我國AG600水陸兩棲飛機成功完成首次地面滑行

China's large amphibious aircraft AG600 last Saturday successfully conducted its first glide test in Zhuhai, Guangdong, as it is preparing for its maiden flight.

我國大型水陸兩棲飛機AG600於上週六在廣東省珠海市成功進行了首次地面滑行試驗，爲首飛奠定了基礎。

Other tests and check-ups are under way, according to the China Aviation Industry General Aircraft Co (CAIGA).

中航通用飛機有限責任公司表示，其他的測試和檢查正在開展中。

Designed to be the world's largest amphibious aircraft, the 37-m AG600, with a wingspan of 38.8 m, can collect 12 tons of water in 20 seconds, and transport up to 370 tons of water on a single tank of fuel.

AG600是世界最大水陸兩棲飛機。其機身長37米，翼展38.8米。20秒內可汲水12噸，一次加油可投放的最大水量爲370噸。

With excellent maneuverability and a relatively wide search scope range, the AG600 will be mainly used for maritime rescue, forest fire fighting, marine environment monitoring and protection.

因其優異的可操作性和相對寬闊的搜尋範圍，AG600將主要應用於海上搜救、森林滅火，以及海洋環境監測與保護。

CAIGA said in March that AG600 would embark on its maiden flight over land in late May and on water in the second half of 2017.

中航通用飛機有限責任公司曾於3月表示，AG600將於5月底進行陸地首飛，今年下半年測試水上起飛。
