No. The assembly line in China only does final integration. The manufacturing of the sub assemblies is still done in Europe.   08-29-2009   #247 bd popeye Da Grand Pubah     Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Cedar Rapids Iowa Posts: 9,191 Re: China's transport plane capacities Not meaning to burst anyone's bubble but this aircraft looks very similar to an USAF C-17.

Aerodynamics imposes a lot of conformity (the Gripen, J-10, Lavi come to mind)   08-29-2009   #250 bd popeye Da Grand Pubah     Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Cedar Rapids Iowa Posts: 9,191 Re: China's transport plane capacities Quote: Originally Posted by montyp165 That CGI design is consistent with the official pictures that have been shown (which also resembles the C-17 a bit), so that shouldn't be much of a surprise. Great! If anyone has a link to those pictures please post it. Thanks! __________________ Discover the Chinese and World Military picture threads!

Compare; http://i28.tinypic.com/6p6urk.jpg That doesn't mean anything, the design of a transport plane is constrained by aerodynamics, weight, and capacity. There are only so many ways to configure an aircraft to suit those requirments.   08-29-2009   #253 bd popeye Da Grand Pubah     Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Cedar Rapids Iowa Posts: 9,191 Re: China's transport plane capacities Quote: Originally Posted by Engineer They are posted on the previous page. Thanks! I must have missed that one. This is the type aircraft the PLAAF really needs for logistical support. __________________ Discover the Chinese and World Military picture threads!

After all china never developed a air transport before   08-30-2009   #255 Deino Junior Member   Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 597 Re: China's transport plane capacities And that's why I don't understand China didn't try to join the An-70 programme !??
