Recently, the first mass-produced AG600 aircraft (serial number 1101) completed its final assembly and rolled off the production line.
Since the assembly began in July 2024, the final assembly team of AVIC General Aircraft Company Limited (AVIC GA) in South China overcame multiple challenges by implementing scientific production scheduling, focusing on critical path materials, and strengthening on-site problem-solving mechanisms, thereby accelerating the assembly process. By mid-December, the basic assembly was completed. To support the airworthiness certification of the AG600, the 1101 aircraft undertook several key airworthiness verification tasks and more than 30 aircraft inspections (MOC7) during assembly. Among these, the full-aircraft lightning indirect effects test was a core verification step required for the AG600 to obtain its Type Certificate (TC), crucial for ensuring safe operation in extreme weather conditions such as thunderstorms. During the Spring Festival holiday, the test team remained on duty, working tirelessly to complete the test in two months before transitioning to integrated system debugging and testing prior to the aircraft's rollout.
In March 2025, the AVIC GA Assembly Center established a '1101 Aircraft Final Assembly and Delivery Communist Party Member Vanguard Team,' adopting a 'Party-building +攻坚 (tackling tough challenges)' model to optimize internal collaboration mechanisms. Teams from assembly, engineering, quality control, and planning worked efficiently together. After over a month of dedicated effort, they completed key pre-delivery flight test tasks, including avionics system power-on checks, full-aircraft level measurement, integral fuel tank air tightness tests, as well as water tightness and rain tests, resolving various bottlenecks to ensure the 1101 aircraft rolled out on schedule for flight testing.
Currently, the second mass-produced AG600 aircraft (1102) has completed the installation of major systems such as engines and landing gear, as well as full-aircraft wiring continuity and insulation checks, and is now undergoing avionics system testing. The third mass-produced aircraft (1103) has also finished the docking of major components, including wings and empennage, and has entered the system installation phase.
Under this background, the 3rd Aviation Emergency Rescue Annual Conference 2025 will be held on June 12th-13th in Tianjin. The conference was hosted by Emergency Rescue Branch, CSAA, supported by Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics, organized by Beihang University.
