Historical Description[]
Xi'an’s Y-20 Kunpeng is a Chinese transport vessel manufactured by the Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation. This aircraft took its first flight on January 26th, 2013 and is still in service. Prior to the Y-20’s creation, the Chinese military was using Ilyushin Il-76 transports from Russia. In the year 2009, they decided to develop their own transport aircraft and designed a faster, stronger model. The Y-20 has a 4 four meter tall hold and a payload of 66 tons, allowing it to transport up to two Type-15 tanks over a distance of 7800 km. Due to this impressive development, China became the fourth country to develop a 200-ton transport aircraft, along with the United States, Russia, and Ukraine.
