China's domestically developed AG600 "Kunlong" amphibious aircraft has entered mass production after the country's Civil Aviation Administration granted a production certificate in April, state-run Xinhua news agency reported on Wednesday.

The AG600 "Kunlong" boasts strong low-altitude and low-speed performance, along with high efficiency in firefighting and rescue operations. It is also capable of stable takeoff and landing on water.
