Y-20 heavy transport aircraft News & Discussions

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.
