Xi’an Aircraft Industrial Corporation launched the development of the Y-20 strategic transport aircraft in 2006. The Y-20 incorporates a high-set wing, T-tail and rear cargo-loading ramp. The first prototype was fitted with four Russian Soloviev D-30 KPD-30-series turbofan engines, although production examples will be powered by four locally produced WS-20 engines, a derivative of the WS-10 turbofan used to power the PLAAF J-11B
fighter.
