China's home-grown AG600, the world's largest amphibious aircraft in production, took to the skies its maiden flight. The plane, codenamed 'Kunlong' according to state news agency Xinhua, took off from the southern city of Zhuhai and landed after roughly an hour-long flight. With a wingspan of 38.8 metres (127 feet) and powered by four turboprop engines, the aircraft is capable of carrying 50 people and can stay airborne for 12 hours. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5215843/Worlds-largest-amphibious-aircraft-takes-air.html 8 Likes 2 Shares

The amphibious aircraft has military applications but will be used for firefighting and marine rescue, with at least 17 orders placed so far with state-owned manufacturer Aviation Industry Corp of China, state media reported. 'Its 4,500-km operational range and ability to land andtake off from water makes it well-suited for deployment over China's artificial islands. The AG600 can carry 50 during maritime search-and-rescue missions, and can scoop up 12 metric tons of water within 20 seconds for fire fighting trips. 9 Likes 1 Share

First world country! China has a population of over 1.5billion, and there has never been a reported case of fuel scarcity. China is busy unveiling technological advanced machinery, Nigeria is busy unveiling fuel scarcity. If China is a country, Nigeria is a village. 292 Likes 17 Shares |

Everyday new invention. These people discovered that the most important resource is human capital. Sadly we are still fighting over oil in Nigeria. The president is waiting to share oil revenue with his adult children at the end of the month. Smh  12 Likes |
