It’s a sea monster! China unveils world's largest amphibious aircraft used to fight forest fires and perform marine rescues

XD hilarious

XD hilarious

What about the Russian jet.?

You never heard of a Mars water bomber?????

Why invent, and pay for the design development, let someone else get the headaches. When your industrial spies can lift the design and you can just copy someone else¿s, hard work.Good to see that they copied the Japanese ShinMaywa US2, it sort reinforces how good the Japanese aircraft is for it to be copied.

Lets see it in action first

Does Jason Statham/christmas and Sly know about this. seems like it was made for Expendables

You can fly in it first.

spruce goose is a bad comparison . maybe it the largest being produced but is no way Huge

The scary canary.

I liked the news of the day relating that the Spruce Goose "lumbered" into the air.

Technically, this aircraft is not a flying boat, but an amphibian. As neither are built anymore (a pity) this is still the largest of its type built today.

The Dornier Do-X of 1929 was quite impressive, too.

'The H-4 Hercules, known as the Spruce Goose is regarded as by far the largest seaplane ever built although it only ever made one flight in 1947. Its wingspan is still longer than the AG600's'--- As stated by the DM. ----- . Spruce Goose, Wingspan: 98 m, Length: 67 m, Weight: 136,100 kg : AG600 : Wingspan 40m, maximum takeoff weight of 53.5 t (53,500 kg; 118,000 lb), lenght: 40m. So the Spruce Goose had a wing span 58m longer than the AG600, was 82,600 kgs heavier than the AG600 and was 27m lomger than the AG600. Charlie Moore, please explain your headline--- The aircraft, dubbed the AG600, is around the size of a Boeing 737 - far larger than any other amphibious plane, and ' by far the largest seaplane ever built'.

I prefer , "Spruce Goose" !!

Bring back the old Sunderland Flying Boat.

Where do you get your information? The Spruce Goose had a wingspan of 320 ft, nearly three times the size of a 737 and far from serving in WWII, only made one flight.

The "Spruce Goose", a derisive nickname by the way, made only one flight and was not finished in time to be used in the war. If I remember correctly, it's one flight was very low altitude. Only the one PROTOTYPE was ever built.
