Zhuhai Airshow 2022
- Thread starter Blitzo
- Start date
looks much better than current y-20
yes. this aircraft will be bigger than Y-20 in terms of length , maximum take off weight and more range.
With the MD-21, MD-22 and the turboramjet and scramjet engines.
Who is GARA that supposedly makes the MD-21 and MD-22? Is it a private player? Can't imagine gov's serious hypersonic aircrafts get shown publicly.
Some members have mentioned the engine maker for these two exhibited engines - a cooperation between CAS and some private venture in Hebei? Again these aren't the combined cycle engines that were flown with either Tengyun or some other project last year/ 2020 right? There were some large images of combined engine ground test and size seems similar to fighter engines.
But the combined cycle here is assumed to be for SSTO/TSTO craft or some larger hypersonic aircraft.
Interesting that we have yet another scramjet or exotic engine shown. Where do these two engines fit in the "known" test flights and projects that are actually gov backed? Appears to be for smaller high supersonic/ hypersonic drones or missiles. The engines at least appear suitable for drone or missile size.

How much larger is the Y-20-F100 compared to the original Y-20?
Besides, should the PLAAF consider having Y-20-F100-military-equivalents into service, alongside or even succeeding the Y-20s?

as of 2016 this civilian version specifications
55 meters in length , 15 meters in height and 50 meters wingspan
carrying capacity is 65-70 tons
nope
An-124 and C-5 Chinese equivalent currently under technologies testing process. means Chinese super heavy cargo aircraft project accelerated. check transport aircraft thread. we have post details.
WS-20 25tons variant is currently under development too.
Rehearsal

Just watched the CCTV news, this FH-97A loyal wingman drone is a scale model size of 1 : 1.5, thus my assumption that the loitering munition is a bit too large for the munition launch box is wrong.
FH-901 loitering munition is able to be launched from that downward extentable launch box.
