　　On May 31, the large-scale fire fighting/water rescue amphibious aircraft "Kunlong" AG600 full state new configuration fire extinguisher independently developed by the aviation industry made its first flight in Zhuhai, Guangdong. The first flight was held on site with video. Tan Ruisong, secretary of the Party Leadership Group and chairman of the board of directors of the aviation industry, Hao Zhaoping, deputy secretary of the Party Leadership Group and general manager of the Group, relevant leaders of local governments, customer representatives, and representatives of AG600 project research and test participants attended the first flight.

　　Zhu Zengyu, the chairman of Guangdong Asia Pacific New Materials Technology Co., Ltd., as the representative of the participating units, was invited to attend the first flight of the large firefighting/water rescue amphibious aircraft "Kunlong" AG600 full state new configuration fire extinguisher in Zhuhai, Guangdong.

　　At 10:55, the first aircraft group, consisting of Captain Chen Ming, Co pilot Sun Kangning, air mechanic Zhang Lei and monitoring observer Jiao Lianyue, took off from Zhuhai Jinwan Airport by taxiing AG600 aircraft, completed the test flight tasks of constant speed climb, level flight deceleration, loose rod flight, simulated approach and missed approach, and successfully landed 20 minutes after flying in the air. The aircraft was in good condition, the control system was normal, and all systems operated stably.

　　It is reported that AG600 aircraft is a major aviation equipment developed to meet the urgent needs of China's emergency rescue system and national natural disaster prevention and control system construction. It is the first large-scale special aircraft developed in accordance with civil airworthiness standards in China, and is one of the three domestic large aircraft, which is also known as Yun20 large transport aircraft and C919 large passenger aircraft. The success of the first flight of the AG600 full state new configuration fire extinguisher marks that the AG600 project has entered a new stage of accelerated development in an all-round way, and also marks a major breakthrough in the development of fire extinguishing function models. It has crossed another major project milestone and is a major phased achievement in the construction of the national autonomous aviation emergency rescue equipment system.

　　In the engineering verification stage, the AG600 technology demonstrator has successively achieved its first flight on land, on water and at sea, key performance test flight and water pumping and fire extinguishing function test flight, breaking through and mastering key technologies such as aerodynamic integration layout, high wave resistance and seaworthy hull, and complex high strut landing gear, laying a solid and reliable technical foundation for project development. In the practical application stage, it is mainly to carry out the research and development of new configuration fire extinguishers and rescue aircraft in full state and airworthiness certification.

　　The AG600 full state new configuration fire extinguisher for the first flight has a maximum takeoff weight of 60 tons and a maximum water carrying capacity of 12 tons, filling the gap of domestic large aviation fire fighters. This type of aircraft is equipped with a pressurized cabin, adopts fly by wire flight control and integrated avionics, and is equipped with a full mission system. Compared with the technical verification aircraft, it has higher safety, greater water input, longer range, and better platform serialization development capability.

　　The research and development team overcame the adverse effects of the epidemic situation and the difficulties in scientific research and production, and worked together to ensure the completion of various research and development tasks.

　　Under the guidance and assistance of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Emergency Management, the Civil Aviation Administration of China and other national ministries and commissions, and with the strong support and collaboration of relevant enterprises, universities and research institutions inside and outside the industry, such as AVIC and CETC, this aircraft is based on the domestic industrial chain, supply chain and innovation chain, achieving 100% domestic independent support, including engines, key airborne systems, a large number of new technologies, new materials The new process has been applied, effectively driving the rapid development and quality improvement of related industries, showing a prominent exemplary driving role. The aviation industry will take the construction of domestic aviation emergency rescue equipment system led by AG600 as its own responsibility, accelerate the promotion of model development and market-oriented application, actively carry out research on fire fighting and rescue use mode, and promote the pilot construction of emergency rescue command center and demonstration operation base. It is planned to have the ability to carry out fire fighting tasks and put them into practical application in 2023. In 2024, the fire extinguisher will obtain the CAAC airworthiness certificate and be delivered to users, In 2025, the rescue aircraft will obtain the CAAC airworthiness certificate and be delivered to users.
