China's transport, tanker & heavy lift aircraft - esp. Y-20/YY-20

By

General outline 3D models of the 3 major airlifters of the PLAAF for the years to come, from left to right: Y-9, Y-15 and Y-20. Made by Big Bun CG on Weibo.

Perhaps this could provide a good rough idea on their respective sizes for comparison. Hopefully there will be more detailed 3D models of the Y-15 once higher quality photographs/footages of the Y-15 becomes available.

I don't know how numbers play, too early to tell(and, again, from my knowledge on how airlifter design goes, we'd better go from payloads/distances rather than throw in arbitrary percentage increases).

For now we can mostly judge the externals, which is (likely) 4 ws-6c, straight wing with huge lifting devices, winglets, straight high tail.
None of that is c-390...
