The amphibious aircraft AG600M successfully completed the low-temperature test and 4 flight tests of the three major systems, the domestic 13-ton large-scale civil aircraft started the first alpine test flight, and the ultra-low airdrop water test flight of the "Xinzhou" 60 fire extinguisher successfully completed the ......The reporter learned from the Aviation Industry Corporation of China that before and after the Spring Festival, a number of domestic aircraft actively carried out test flights, and the majority of aviation people were not afraid of high cold and low temperatures, and made every effort to sprint for the application of new models.
In Hailar, the large amphibious aircraft "Kunlong" AG600M independently developed by China recently completed the last alpine flight test mission, and its power plant system, fuel system, hydraulic system, flight control system, avionics system, landing gear system and other key systems have passed the alpine ground test and flight test verification, which can meet the needs of forest, firefighting, search, rescue and other fields within the whole territory of China.

On January 22 and 30, after a long journey of nearly 6 hours and more than 2,200 kilometers, two Kunlong AG600M (1003 and 1005) were transferred to Dongshan Airport in Hailar, Inner Mongolia, to start the verification task related to the low temperature environment. This is also the longest distance and most complex transition mission performed by AG600M since its first flight.
The Hailar Alpine special flight test lasted for about two weeks, and AG600M successively completed the functional performance test of each system of the whole aircraft under the conditions of minus 20 degrees Celsius to minus 40 degrees Celsius, verified the use and maintenance procedures of the aircraft such as low temperature, defrosting, snow removal, etc., and laid a solid foundation for airworthiness certification and subsequent use and maintenance in low temperature environments. At present, the development of AG600M fire-fighting aircraft has fully entered the critical stage of airworthiness compliance verification, and it is planned to obtain the type certificate in 2024.
In addition, in Mohe, the domestic 13-ton large-scale civil *** also opened the first alpine test flight. In Suining, the ultra-low altitude water drop test flight of the "Xinzhou" 60 fire extinguisher was successfully completed, and it is one step closer to being put into use. In Jiamusi, the two types of domestic *** also gathered in the Northeast to jointly carry out low-temperature test flights.
In 2023, AVIC achieved a total profit of 257300 million yuan, and the intensity of R&D investment reached 89%, achieving a total revenue of 5880200 million yuan; The aviation equipment task was completed as planned, 664 civil aircraft were delivered, and 15 important innovation platforms were created.
The relevant person in charge of the Aviation Industry Group said that at the same time, there are so many models to start test flights in the New Year, which means that the overall improvement of China's aviation industry capacity and the delivery of a variety of models this year has laid a solid foundation. According to the plan, AVIC will continue to deliver more than 600 civil aircraft to customers worldwide this year.
