KJ-600 carrierborne AEWC thread

[Orthan]

I don't know who you are but seem like you try to diminish every China progress in weapon development with not so intelligent comment. Case of envy, Jealously,insecurity? maybe

I only know what i can see regarding these photos. You must know more than i do in this forum, but theres no reason to be angry.

Now theres more details into it. It has a cockpit, the dish is painted, at least the front vehicle seems to be a refuelling tank truck and tubes seem to leave from it to the plane. It seems like a plane getting readied for flight.

An unconfirmed rumor has it that the prototype has taken off on its maiden flight just over an hour ago.

Why would a propeller powered plane leave a jet stream?

Why would a propeller powered plane leave a jet stream?

Maybe it's from a chase craft.

And any sort of combustion engine could, in theory, leave behind contrails, no?

Escort.

Why would a propeller powered plane leave a jet stream?

Because it is a turboprop plane??

It has a jet engine, called turbine propeller = 'turboprop'.

By the way, even combustion engines have a chem trail, look at pictures from high flying bombers in WW II.
