According to reports, this first flight of the AG600 aircraft at sea will comprehensively explore the sea flight test technology and methods, test the aircraft's hydrodynamic performance and surface handling characteristics, check the working conditions of various aircraft systems in the marine environment, and collect sea flight data to provide support for subsequent related work. At the same time, the anti-corrosion effect of aircraft will be evaluated in view of the anti-corrosion problems caused by high salinity and high humidity environment in the ocean.
According to the maritime department, the sea area of this test flight is stormy and the atmospheric environment has high salinity, which is more complicated than the inland water environment. In order to ensure the smooth maiden flight of the AG600 aircraft at sea, Qingdao Maritime Safety Administration, as one of the flight test support units, issued 10 flight test warnings continuously from July 5, prohibiting all ships from entering the flight test area.
Before the flight test, timely implement traffic organization and sea sweeping alert, strengthen the dynamic monitoring and information service of ships around the test area, and dispatch two boats, namely "Sea Patrol 05 12" and "Sea Patrol 057 10", to maintain navigation order and prepare for emergency treatment.

King of amphibious aircraft
As the largest amphibious aircraft in the world, the debut of the Kunlong -600 has brought people a lot of shock. It can park and perch on the undulating water like a seaplane, slide at high speed on the water, jump up and land on the water smoothly; It can also completely put down the landing gear hidden in the fuselage, fly on a hard runway like a land plane, or fall from the sky with great kinetic energy. This amphibious take-off and landing function makes it more widely used than seaplanes and land planes.
The appearance of Snapdragon -600 looks strange. The top of the 37-meter-long fuselage is inlaid with 38.8-meter-long flat wings with a height of 12. 1 meter. Its overall size is almost the same as that of Boeing 737 and C9 19, surpassing Japan's US-2 and Russia's Be-200, making it the first amphibious aircraft in the world.
The flight performance of Kunlong -600 is very outstanding, such as the flight speed of 500 kilometers, the maximum take-off weight of 53.5 tons, and the flight range of 12 hour, which are all superior to US-2. Although Kunlong -600 started late, it has a high starting point and has obvious advantages as a latecomer. It will undergo various tests and experiences in the subsequent first flight, test flight and official flight, and will continue to improve, perfect and upgrade, and finally grow into the king of a new generation of amphibious aircraft.
Public trust. Com- China independently developed the amphibious aircraft "Xiaolong" AG600 for its first flight at sea.
