those big doors seen on cargo aircrafts usually accompanied by a loading ramp on the back of cargo aircrafts. I asked the question because large aircrafts like y-20 are supposed to have clamshell doors or loading ramp but it isn't clear from the pic

I think the design/layout of this aircraft focus (inspiration) from USAF Globat Master C17, doors might be same like C17... let see

Will this be converted to an AWACS and tanker or are there separate planes for AWACS and tanker (maybe a C919 variant)?

it seems the stiffness(刚&#24230 of the tail wing is not big enough by your second video. we can see clearly the vibration after its landing.
after the first flight many details will be improved.
