When you hear the word "aircraft," the first thing that comes to mind, is that it is a machine that dominates the sky. It can be an airplane, a helicopter, or any other machine that is able to fly just by gaining support from the air.

Back in the days, people thought that creating an invention like this is a wild and crazy idea. Some people think that these things are "stupid" and "delusional." But they look at these airplanes now, they're working pretty well, just with the brilliant idea of ??creating a winged machine.travelling to far away places, just with the brilliant idea of creating a winged machine.

As if aircraftscould not be more amazing, it seems that there is moreThe question is, is there such aircraft ? Yes, there is.

The amphibians of the aviation world

Based on the term "amphibians," which are used in amphibious aircraft models aircrafts that can also be used in either of the two settings: water and air (instead of land). The fixed-wing amphibious aircraftsare also called seaplanes. They usually have retractable wheels, which usually come at the expense of the extra weight and complexity, including the range and fuel economy.

In fact, some amphibious aircraft models are also reinforced with keels - which also act as skis, so it can land on snow or ice even with the wheels up. Compared to regular airplanes, amphibious aircraftsare heavier and slower. These are morecomplex,and more expensive to buy because of the versatility of the design, and because it can operate in two landscapes. aircrafts are heavier and slower.

It can be much faster, and can have a longer range (nearly the range of a land-based aircraft). The airplane's wing is also more efficient than the helicopter's lifting rotor. faster,and can have a range (nearly the range of a land-based aircraft).

The largest amphibious aircraft

The Aviation Industry Corporation of China is currently developing the world's "largest amphibious aircraft." Called the AVIC Kunlong AG600 (literal Chinese translation is "Kun Dragon"), this aircraft will be used for firefighting as well as marine rescue missions. This is powered by four WJ-6 turboprops, and has a 53.5 t (118,000 lb) MTOW. with the assembly started in August 2014.turboprops,

This model is rolled out on July 23, 2016, and made its maiden Zhuhai Airport on December 24, 2017. As for the other design details, it has a single body flying boat fuselage, cantilevered high wings, oven WJ -6 turboprops and tricycle retractable landing gear. Furthermore, the AG600 can operate from 1.500 by 200m stretches of water 2.5m deep, and can also conduct various waves. and tricycle retractable landing gear. Furthermore, the AG600 can operate from 1,500 by 200 m stretches of water 2.5m deep, and can also conduct various Sea State operation with 2 m waves. and

This aircraft was developed for aerial firefighting, and can collect 26,000 lb of water in 20 seconds, and up to 820,000 lb of water on a single fuel tank (31 rotations). The best thing about this model, it can even search, rescue, retrieve up to 50 people at sea. firefighting, and can collect 26,000 lb of water in 20 seconds, as well as transport up to 820,000 lb of water on a single tank of fuel (31 rotations).

WW2 Amphibious Aircrafts from 1939-1945

Long before the Aviation Industry Corp. of China decided to develop a huge amphibious aircraft, many people have already used one. For instance, there are already floatplanes and seaplanes, used during the Second World War. This was particularly used in the Mediterranean and the Pacific theaters of war.

According to records and reports, there were a total of 29 WW2 Floatplanes in the Military Factory from 1939 to 1945. This includes:

• Aichi E13A (Jake) - Naval floatplane aircraft recognition

• Aichi E16A Zuiun (Paul) - Recognition floatplane or dive bomber
