Hope Y20 can help to transport relief material to flood areas this time.

My friends ... now PLAAF is the strategic airforce, the mass production of Y-20 can bring China & PLA power to any global hotspot in the world.

I believe not too long we will see China Y-20 fleet as many as American C-17, the PLAAF into new high-level

Why is it less than the C-17?

It was a mistake to make smaller than C-17.

Who knows, maybe China build one that is like the C-5 Galaxy.

Too expensive to maintain.

From wiki:

The cargo hold of the C-5 is one foot longer than the entire length of the first powered flight by the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk.[51] For its voracious consumption of fuel and its maintenance and reliability issues[52] the Galaxy's aircrews have nicknamed it FRED, for: Fucking[N 1] Ridiculous, Economic/Environmental Disaster.[52]

Its hard to imagine that such a beast was built in the 60s though.

There were many planes that were made at the time that was hard to imagine. Even some that are still flying during that time. Best one to remember was the SR-71 that was made at the time.
