"China’s first seaplane, the AG600 “Kunlong,” took off from water for the first time this weekend, validating the craft’s water takeoff capability. Kunlong is the world’s largest seaplane, and though Chinese state media doesn’t mention, it will undoubtedly have military applications. The seaplane will be essential, flying from the mainland to Beijing’s island bases in the South China Sea. The aircraft will also be useful locating and rescuing downed pilots in wartime.
...
The seaplane is China’s first, part of the country’s relentless expansion in the world of aviation, from jet fighters to commercial aircraft. First introduced in 2017 the AG600 is also the world’s largest seaplane, about the size of a Boeing 737. The plane is 121 feet long with a wingspan of 128 feet. The plane stands 39 feet tall. Kunlong can carry up to 50 passengers a distance of up to 2,700 miles."
