<div class="st-block markdown  text-left ">
Zhong Hai Zhi 
Technology, a private Chinese drone builder, showed off its 3-ton T333 
Helicopter cargo UAV. T333 has a payload of 1.5 tons and speed of 300 
kilometers (or about 186 miles) per hour. The UAV has a non-bearing composite rotor, H-type tail and retractable three-wheel landing gear. Compared to conventional 
helicopter layouts, its coaxial rotor saves weight and increases speed. 
At 3 tons, it is the largest purpose-built helicopter drone (some 
conversions like the K-MAX are bigger) in the world.<br />
While the smaller T220 is already in service with Chinese civilian 
and military customers, the T333 may be joined by even bigger cousins in
 the years to come. Chinese military users would find that the T333's 
small size and respectable payload well suited for both unmanned aerial 
resupply of Chinese troops in difficult-to-reach mountain and urban 
areas, as well as for naval uses, like anti-submarine warfare, on 
warships too small to carry manned helicopters.</div>
<br />
<br />
Elsewhere, the TD200 has undergone a design makeover that conceals its 
external gimbals and sensors, though the aircraft retains its coaxial 
dual-rotor and H-type tail. Despite its structural changes, the UAV’s 
range, weight, endurance and speed remain the same.<br />
The first time the TD220 made an appearance at an Asian show was at the 
2014 Singapore Air Show, where the aircraft was promoted for civil and 
commercial surveillance missions.<br />
During the 2014 Singapore Air Show, ZHZ also promoted the TC unmanned 
helicopter for commercial surveillance and patrol missions, but the 
aircraft was absent in Zhuhai in 2016.

C919</div>
<div class="field-body">
The C919 prototype, completed in late 2015, has been undergoing 
tests and preparations for its 2017 maiden flight. With over 500 orders 
from Chinese airlines, COMAC (with heavy support from Beijing) will next
 take aim at the export market. <i> popsci.com</i><br />

<div class="st-block markdown  text-left ">
One of 
the true stars of Zhuhai 2016 was the C919 jetliner, China's modern 
passenger jet, which garnered 56 orders at the event. Following on the 
much-delayed regional ARJ-21 jet, the 75-ton C919 is in the same class 
as the Boeing B737 and Airbus A320, seating up to 156 passengers in its 
basic two-class configuration. It has a wingspan of 117.5 feet and a 
length of 130.6 feet.<br />
After a couple of years of delay, the first C919 prototype rolled out
 of the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China's (COMAC) Shanghai 
factory in November 2015, and is undergoing extensive ground testing 
before its maiden flight in the first half of 2017. While most of its 
573 current orders are from Chinese airlines, the global success of the 
C919 as a lower-cost alternative to western aircraft would be a 
political and technological triumph for China. In addition, experience 
from the C919 will give COMAC the base to build larger next-generation 
jetliners.<br />

"C929"</div>
<div class="field-body">
The Sino-Russian jumbo jet, with the tentative designation 
"C929", will be assembled in Shanghai with a service entry date of 2025,
 after a $20 billion research and development program.<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
On Nov. 
2, Russian Trade Minister Denis Manturov announced that COMAC and its 
Russian counterpart, United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), will form a $12 
billion to $20 billion joint venture to build a Sino-Russian wide body 
jumbo jet. COMAC Vice President Guo Bozhi said that the jumbo jet, 
tentatively named "C929", will enter service around 2025 and be 
assembled in Shanghai.<br />
The C929 will have a range of 7,456 miles and will have three 
variants, seating 250, 280 and 320 passengers respectively. This would 
roughly place the C929 in the same weight class as the Boeing 787 and 
Airbus A350. China and Russia hope that combining Chinese resources with
 past Russian experiences, along with foreign inputs like western Rolls 
Royce and General Electric engines, will help them produce a high-tech 
jetliner that's 10 percent cheaper than its western competitors.  In 
addition to providing a cheaper option for civilian long haul flights, 
the C929 could serve as a fuel efficient platform for large Chinese or 
Russian military aircraft like airborne early warning command and 
control, aerial tankers, surveillance, electronic intelligence 
gathering, and VIP transport.<br />

The Y-20F-100 heavy air transport, a stretched civilian version 
of the Y-20 military airlifter with domestic WS-20 turbofan engines, is 
geared toward commercial service with payload room for 28 air freight 
containers weighing a total of 65 tons. <i> popsci.com</i><br />

The 
world's largest military aircraft currently in production, the Y-20, is 
China's heavy transport aircraft. Built by the Xian Aircraft 
Corporation, it has a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 200 tons and a 
66-ton payload, and is entering People's Liberation Army Air Force 
(PLAAF) service this year.<br />
The Y-20 made a repeat appearance at Zhuhai 2016 (it debuted at 
Zhuhai 2014) as the Y-20F-100, which can carry 28 air freight containers
 with a total weight of 65 tons—enough to transport high bypass domestic
 WS-20 engines. In addition to increasing its fuel efficiency, this 
means that China would not need Russian approval to export the 
Y-20F-100.<br />

The 
debut of the CAIGA (an AVIC subsidiary) AG-600 seaplane prototype was 
one of Zhuhai 2016's pleasant surprises. With a maximum takeoff weight 
of 53.6 tons and room for 50 passengers, the AG-600 is the world's 
largest seaplane, beating out the Japanese U-2. By the end of the show, 
AVIC claimed to have received 17 orders for the AG-600 from domestic and
 foreign customers. Here's why: large seaplanes are well-suited for 
firefighting, maritime search and rescue missions, anti-submarine and 
littoral irregular warfare, and resupplying small island bases, like 
those in the South China Sea.<i> popsci.com</i><br />
