Indeed and on Twitter I already noted that it's time to show us the next level of "20" ... come on XAC, show us the H-20!

As such I would love to know a reasonable estimate, when we'll get the first glimpse of the H-20 and not only again stupid rumours from the SCMP it might be unveiled at Zhuhai.

I’ve dreamt of a dark blurry/hazy/grainy picture or short gif - an undercarriage bay door with zig-zag LO cut, beefy undercarriage, with a 4 wheel bogie at the end…

A gif of it retracting? - I’ll need an ambulance.

From CCTV dated 26th January 2022. English sub-title added. Narrative/source of voice is from Tang Chang Hong, chief design engineer of Y20.

Note that the Y20s in the video are not prototypes for Chinese engines under flight testing.

Some high-resolution images to celebrate the 9th anniversary of Y-20's maiden flight.

That's the strategic air transport I dreamed of!
