An70 is obviously much lighter than IL476 and Y20..Almost at the same time on finishing testing came out one class three planes: Y-20, IL-476 and An-70.
Competition for cheap markets.

smh... Its just so obvious you have never been to China. In the lala land you live in, is smog black? And in that fantasy land, would hiding a giant black transport jet in a haze of white Beijing smog actually work?You know why don't you? It hides well in China's smog.
China's smog is charcoal grey, just like the paint job.smh... Its just so obvious you have never been to China. In the lala land you live in, is smog black? And in that fantasy land, would hiding a giant black transport jet in a haze of white Beijing smog actually work?
So you're going to compare that smog, with the almost black, grey of the Y20? Wouldn't the standard grey of USAF C17's camouflage better in smog?China's smog is charcoal grey, just like the paint job.

Y20 ' s payload is 60t for now,and will be 76t after equiped new engines.I was expecting China to develop something in class of C-17 not in one they already have.
Engines are coming, we will see more and more planes equip engines from WS family.y-20 and j-20 is a great step forward for chinese aviation industry.but they should also concentrate on high performance jet engines.
The aircraft was modified from a former Russian Il-76SKIP/Be-976 missile tracking aircraft (S/N RA-76456). The modification including the removal of the radar system took place in 2004 at the LII Flight Research Institute and the aircraft was handed over to China in mid-2005. The inner engine on the port side has been converted into an engine testbed, an arrangement similar to Russian Il-76LL engine testbed variant. Two large wingtip pods were retained which now might house engine monitoring instrument. Two small pods of unknown purpose (cameras?) can be seen attached to the rear fuselage. The IL-76 engine testbed (S/N 760) is in service with CFTE, replacing the old Tu-16 engine testbed.
Well... Yeah! It is the same colour. No, C-17 grey would stick out too much. Their smog is lighter than Chinese charcoal air.So you're going to compare that smog, with the almost black, grey of the Y20? Wouldn't the standard grey of USAF C17's camouflage better in smog?
You know what, don't answer that, rather post something useful Armand, your childish taunts are only succeeding in making me pity you...
different subsystems like different turbofan jet engines are also developed.y-20 and j-20 is a great step forward for chinese aviation industry.but they should also concentrate on high performance jet engines.
