Y-20 heavy transport aircraft News & Discussions

[sheik]

Are You sure ? The GE-image I posted a few post above shows IMO clearly the four-WS-20-powered Il-76LL, but not a Y-20.

That does not exclude the possibility of PLA having another Y-20 with WS-20.

I am not sure about the progress though.

Is this real ??? .. or was there was one again someone with too much time, an old image and his photoshop ??

The photo itself looks real but it was stated as a CG picture by the poster in CJDBY.

However, this could be either the roll-out of first proto-type in 2013 or the first production aircraft in 2016. Can not find any existing photo that matched this one.

Only a clear photo to be released soon can confirm. So, just wait and see.



Edit: Actually the poster stated PS pic, not CG pic. My mistake.

Don't get me wrong and it's not the information itself I doubt but the image.
Much too often we have seen true reports "spiced" up by faked images - just remember that alleged FC-31.V2-images psed from that airshow model !? - and they even more likely appear the longer the hiatus between good & interesting images is.

As such I think it is not reprehensible to be cautious ...

If these numbers are correct it would indicate the 12th Air Regiment of the 4th Division Transport in Chengdu / Qionglai - a former/current Y-7-unit !

2016年6月15日下午十八时三十分，某新型战略运输机首批交付部队服役仪式在中航工业某试飞中心圆满结束。这是我国空军正式开始具备强大战略投送能力的重要标志。壮观的水门庆典等现场图欠奉，敬请期待。
