Wow, those guys have got some subtle humour ´China Air ForcR´...(Force with a latin R!:rofl: Perhaps a cyrillic Я would have been even more cool!)

May be that's a hint for Y-20 Il-76 heritage?? :confused:

That bugged me too. I don't think it is the official design.

Couldn't that production line pic be that of the Airbus fuselage?

It could...any idea what banner says? What about color of the uniform?

Not meaning to burst anyone's bubble but this aircraft looks very similar to an USAF C-17.

Compare;

That CGI design is consistent with the official pictures that have been shown (which also resembles the C-17 a bit), so that shouldn't be much of a surprise.

Wouldn't large transports look alike to a great extent? Aerodynamics imposes a lot of conformity (the Gripen, J-10, Lavi come to mind)

Thanks! I must have missed that one.:eek:

This is the type aircraft the PLAAF really needs for logistical support.

Yes, but...will they be able to build it? After all china never developed a air transport before
