On August 30th , the large-scale fire / water rescue amphibious aircraft AG600 test aircraft group was launched for the first time under the water pre-sliding test flight list. The taxi test verified the aircraft's surface taxiing control characteristics, the readability of the flight instrument during the low-speed water surface taxiing, the normal working state of the aircraft system, the watertightness of the aircraft and whether the aircraft can enter the water surface taxi test.
The crew reflected that the aircraft was in good condition, the water was stable, and the systems worked normally. This also marks the successful completion of the first launch of the Xiaolong AG600 , which laid a solid foundation for the next water taxi test and the first flight on the water.
At present, the preparations for the first flight of the Xiaolong AG600 aircraft on the water are being carried out steadily. After completing the various taxi tests, the first flight on the water will be selected.
