The development of the "Seagull 300 aircraft" was jointly developed by AVIC Shijiazhuang Aircraft Industry Co., Ltd. and AVIC Special Aircraft Research Institute. AVIC Shijiazhuang Aircraft Industry Co., Ltd. is responsible for process design, tooling design and manufacturing, and parts manufacturing. Parts production, aircraft final assembly and flight test and other development tasks.
The "Seagull 300" aircraft has technically reached the advanced level of amphibious aircraft of the same level in European and American countries.
The development of the "Seagull 300 aircraft" will improve my country's general aviation aircraft series, fill the gap in the development of amphibious aircraft below 5 tons, and provide general aviation users with a multi-purpose, advanced performance and strong adaptability , low-cost amphibious aircraft.
The aircraft is equipped with high-performance and high-power engines and is equipped with advanced avionics equipment such as comprehensive displays, radars and air data computers. The basic model is a passenger model that can carry 4-6 passengers and can be widely used. Used in business flights, passenger and cargo transportation, medical rescue, aviation detection, tourism, etc.
Amphibious aircraft can carry out aerial photography, transport land supplies, and conduct water patrols. Multi-purpose general aircraft will create more value for users.
Part of the data of the Seagull 300 is that the fuselage is 8.94 meters long, 3.05 meters high, the wingspan is 12.3 meters, the take-off and landing wave resistance height is 0.6 meters, the maximum take-off weight is 1680kg, and it uses a 310-horsepower engine. The maximum speed is 258 kilometers per hour, the cruising speed is 220 kilometers per hour, the maximum range is 1,300 kilometers, and the price is around 3.5 million RMB, which is extremely cost-effective.
It is understood that there are about 340,000 general aircraft in use in the world, of which the United States accounts for about 2/3, about 220,000. Data shows that only a few Western developed countries such as Russia, the United States, France, and Canada have the ability to develop and produce amphibious aircraft. Among them, Russia has the highest level of research and development. Although the development of amphibious aircraft in China is relatively late, the development of the "Seagull 300" aircraft has reached the advanced level of aircraft of the same level in European and American countries, especially the avionics system used this time, which is relatively advanced in the world.
With the arrival of spring in China's general aviation industry, the "Seagull 300" amphibious aircraft belonging to the general aircraft series will definitely be favored by the market. It is predicted that by 2012, China's general aviation and the industries it drives will form a market capacity of more than one trillion yuan. Since general aviation has a broad scope of use, general aircraft will be another rapidly rising sunrise industry after automobiles.
