In a landmark move for the aviation sector on the Chinese mainland, the AG600 "Kunlong" — a domestically developed amphibious aircraft — has officially entered mass production. This announcement follows the production certification granted by the Civil Aviation Administration of China on Wednesday, marking a new phase in the jet’s journey from prototype to fleet deployment.
Designed to take off and land on both water and land, the AG600 "Kunlong" breaks barriers in dual-environment operations. Mass production means more units will soon be rolling off the assembly line, poised to serve in roles that leverage its amphibious capabilities. Industry watchers see this step as a win for homegrown innovation, signaling the Chinese mainland’s growing prowess in specialized aviation technology.
