Here I go again. I'm still puzzled at why after Mao's passing and downfall of Gang of Four ... not even during Deng's era, was there a large/medium-size cargo plane (eg. C-133 & An-12) that utilize fixed undercarriage (tricycle type)?
A low-cost large cargo plane that's affordable ... beside providing for domestic need. It's export potential should've been good!

Seems more legit to me, it was posted on weibo on Nov 21st, but only noticed somehow now.

The aircraft looks more consistent with the rumours; i.e.: it was in primer particularly.
Chase plane and all as well.


I agree ... however I'm surprised that it was indeed posted that day but missed until now.

Hi Deino,

It looks like a standard Y20 fitted with 4 WS20 (thanks for the correction),so the rumored Y20B with a lengthen fuselage is false after all.
