| An advanced Raytheon B-3583 test plane has landed in China to help test safety and reliability at the country's airports. The plane's full wingspan reaches 17.3 meters and the length of the fuselage is 14.18 meters. It is equipped with two turboprop engines and the most advanced test facilities on board. The aircraft are mainly responsible for testing the navigation, radar and telecommunication systems in domestic airports. They will guarantee the safety of flights taking-off and landing. The new test plane will help increase the level of Chinese aviation trials, said Mao Shunping, deputy director-general of the Air Traffic Management Bureau of the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China (CAAC). China was increasing its demand for aviation equipment thanks to the rapid development of its aviation industry, said Bruce J. Eichman, vice-president of Raytheon International Inc. The new plane brings China's total test aircraft to seven. |
