Today (on June 12, 2018) about Yan Liang a new-style plane turns one paragraph the video fire of field rise, from the cut of video the graph looks probable the carry that is Chinese newest generation - 30 medium-sized transport, will replace movement - 8 with carry - the 9 brunt model that make Chinese medium-sized transport plane.
Chinese air force lacks many heavy-duty transport not only at present, the amount of medium-sized transport and quality also are serious inadequacy, although have luck - 8 with carry - two 9 medium-sized transport but still satisfy requirement hard. Carry - 8 it is mapping is modelled on at Russia 20 centuries of 60 time install - 12 medium-sized transport, enlist in army formally 1980, it is the medium-sized transport that Chinese air force enlists in army the first times in great quantities, carring capacity ability is 28 tons. Although carry - 8 development gave movement - 8 special type fight, the plane of a variety of model such as electronic battle, scout, but the demand that because design air force of relatively backward because this is very difficult contented China,expands. Then China began to carrying 2005 - the use with the new development on the foundation of 8 - 9 transport, carry - 9 transport joined Chinese air force formally to enlist in army 2012, carry - of 9 enlisted in army to promote Chinese air force to change one's costume or dress greatly special type fights plane and lade the ability that army makes battle car undertake assault fights, but come up from essence say use - 9 just still carrying - improve on the foundation of 8 edition, should settle fate thoroughly - what 8 engine room cross small so congenital inadequacy is short board still need brand-new the medium-sized transport plane that designs him China, carry - 30 projects also emerge as the times require.
Carry - 30 transport model was exhibited in Zhuhai boat first 2014 appear publicly, as China brand-new a when design and make new generation is medium-sized carriage accident - the carring capacity likelihood of 30 reachs 30 tons of level, range also is as high as 6000 kilometers, integral performance is even more advanced than C-130J. Appear on the time that true today machine appeared on to just also be used 4 years publicly from the model, it seems carries - 30 transport can be in probably implementation head flew 2019, is not before forecast ability came true 2020 head fly.
Carry - the ability after 30 transport finish a test-fly that after flying, predicts to be able to be passed 5 years to work joins Chinese air force to enlist in army, that is to say at latest arrives Chinese air force can use the medium-sized transport plane that be designed completely independently by China and builds 2025, and carry - 30 also be afterwards homebred carry - 20 later the transport of own design and another research and development of Chinese, the aviation industry that can obtain such breakthrough to also prove China inside short time entered the period of rapid development.
? Carry - 30 after enlisting in army, will replace stage by stage often carry oldly - 8, carry - 9 also can shift to an earlier date probably stop production and the use with main new production - 30 transport, carry - 30 probable meetings make the medium-sized transport plane with Chinese current air force, and the A-400M that future can give probably also to export version and C-130 and Europe now at the same time contest mark international market.
No matter angle says use from which - the occurrence of 30 transports is told to China is a good news, the medium-sized transport plane that Chinese air force uses not only the amount wants much, it is better that quality also wants, such talent are enough faster the better military affairs that finishs all sorts of wars to perhaps be not a war acts, protective motherland safety maintains motherland interest.
