China's first tiltrotor aircraft makes its debut, drawing attention to its military applications

US media: China's first tiltrotor aircraft makes its debut, with clear military applications.

The US website "The War Zone" reported that China's first manned tiltrotor aircraft is in test flights. This aircraft uses the same next-generation tiltrotor technology as the US V280 aircraft, requiring only the rotation of the rotor part, not the entire engine nacelle, and has higher overall stability than the MV-22 Osprey transport aircraft. The US media pointed out that China's tiltrotor aircraft has clear military applications, but developing a large-tonnage military tiltrotor aircraft is no easy task.

Public information shows that China's first tiltrotor aircraft has multiple finished units, and the development progress is promising. Once the relevant technologies mature, it can develop military versions according to needs. However, tiltrotor aircraft are one of the few pieces of equipment that the US has that China can learn from. In many cutting-edge military technology fields, the US will later be in a situation where it is "feeling its way by touching China's back."
