China conducted a successful test flight of its first domestically made jumbo air freighter on January 26.
The Yun-20, or Transport-20, is a huge, multi-function air freighter which can carry cargo and passengers.
The successful maiden flight of Yun-20 is significant in China's economic and national defense and will improve emergency capabilities such as disaster relief and humanitarian aid.
