我国大型水陆两栖飞机AG600于上周六在广东省珠海市成功进行了首次地面滑行试验，为首飞奠定了基础。
China's large amphibious aircraft AG600 last Saturday successfully conducted its first glide test in Zhuhai, Guangdong, as it is preparing for its maiden flight.
中航通用飞机有限责任公司表示，其他的测试和检查正在开展中。
Other tests and check-ups are under way, according to the China Aviation Industry General Aircraft Co (CAIGA).
AG600是世界最大水陆两栖飞机。其机身长37米，翼展38.8米。20秒内可汲水12吨，一次加油可投放的最大水量为370吨。
Designed to be the world's largest amphibious aircraft, the 37-m AG600, with a wingspan of 38.8 m, can collect 12 tons of water in 20 seconds, and transport up to 370 tons of water on a single tank of fuel.
因其优异的可操作性和相对宽阔的搜寻范围，AG600将主要应用于海上搜救、森林灭火，以及海洋环境监测与保护。
With excellent maneuverability and a relatively wide search scope range, the AG600 will be mainly used for maritime rescue, forest fire fighting, marine environment monitoring and protection.
中航通用飞机有限责任公司曾于3月表示，AG600将于5月底进行陆地首飞，今年下半年测试水上起飞。
CAIGA said in March that AG600 would embark on its maiden flight over land in late May and on water in the second half of 2017.
