中國自製的大型水陸兩棲飛機AG600「鯤龍」，近日完成關鍵性的大側風起降試驗，進一步驗證其在惡劣氣象環境下的安全性與可靠性。該機型被視為中國加強海上救援與森林消防能力的重要裝備。試驗完成後，AG600隨即轉場黑龍江大興安嶺，準備投入即將來臨的森林防火旺季。

中國自主研製的大型水陸兩棲飛機AG600「鯤龍」，5月9日順利完成了大側風條件下的陸上起降試驗，為後續執行複雜任務打下基礎。根據中國航空工業集團消息，此次試驗除了起降能力，亦針對進氣系統符合性、發動機與螺旋槳振動進行地面測試。

AG600是中國首款具備「海上起降、內陸湖泊、水庫與陸地機場多重起降能力」的大型兩棲飛機，機長39.6米，翼展38.8米，最大起飛重量60噸，續航航程達4500公里，可持續滯空12小時。官方設計用途涵蓋海上搜救、森林滅火與海島運補。

此次側風試驗地點選在內蒙古錫林浩特，該區域風力條件多變，具備模擬複雜氣象環境的優勢。據了解，AG600於2022年取得中國民航局頒發的型號合格證（TC），2024年底首架量產型交付。

試驗完成後，AG600轉場至黑龍江大興安嶺加格達奇機場，正式駐防國家級航空護林基地，準備投入5月至9月的東北森林防火旺季。近年，中國東北、內蒙古與西南地區因乾旱頻繁發生森林火災，AG600可單次投放12噸滅火水，並快速重複投水，補足現役運-12、運-5等中小型護林機的不足。

有專家指出，AG600未來亦有潛力投入南海島礁補給與遠海搜救任務，增強中國海上應急應變能力。

🔑 三大重點觀察

1. AG600性能再進化，提升惡劣天候執行力
   完成大側風起降測試，證明能在強風環境安全起降，擴展應用場景。
2. 部署東北防火一線，補強森林消防空中力量
   首次駐防大興安嶺，投入北方森林防火主戰場，提升滅火效率。
3. 具備遠海應急潛力，拓展南海與離島任務
   長航程與大載重優勢，未來可支援南海補給與海上搜救，增強國家應急能力。

China’s AG600 Amphibious Aircraft Completes Crosswind Tests, Prepares for Northeast Wildfire Seaso

China’s domestically developed AG600 amphibious aircraft recently completed a series of crosswind landing tests, demonstrating its safety and reliability under harsh weather conditions. Following the successful trials, the aircraft has been deployed to Heilongjiang to assist in the upcoming forest fire season, strengthening China’s emergency response capabilities.

China’s AG600 “Kunlong” amphibious aircraft, the country’s first large seaplane capable of both water and land operations, successfully completed crucial crosswind takeoff and landing tests on May 9. According to Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), the trials also included assessments of its air intake system conformity and ground vibration tests for both engine and propellers.

The AG600, measuring 39.6 meters in length with a wingspan of 38.8 meters, has a maximum takeoff weight of 60 tons and a range of 4,500 km. It is designed for multiple roles such as maritime search and rescue, aerial firefighting, and island supply missions.

The crosswind tests took place in Xilinhot, Inner Mongolia, a region known for fluctuating wind conditions ideal for simulating complex environments. The AG600 received its type certificate from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) in 2022, with the first production model delivered in late 2024.

After completing the trials, the aircraft relocated to Jiagedaqi Airport in the Greater Khingan Mountains of Heilongjiang, where it will support China’s national aerial forest protection base during the peak wildfire season from May to September. Northeast China, Inner Mongolia, and the southwest frequently experience forest fires due to prolonged droughts. The AG600 can drop up to 12 tons of water per sortie, offering a significant boost over smaller firefighting aircraft like the Y-12 and Y-5.

Experts note the AG600 also holds potential for future South China Sea island resupply and open-sea rescue missions, expanding China’s maritime emergency capabilities.

🔑

3 Key Takeaways

1. Enhanced performance for extreme weather operations
   Successful crosswind tests confirm AG600’s ability to safely operate in strong wind environments, expanding its operational scope.
2. Deployed to reinforce firefighting in Northeast China
   First-time stationing in Greater Khingan region boosts China’s aerial firefighting force for the high-risk wildfire season.
3. Potential for maritime emergency expansion
   Long-range and heavy payload advantages position AG600 as a future asset for South China Sea supply and search-and-rescue missions.
