To be frank, it's a bit difficult to accuse the Chinese copying the American transport plane. If you go on the internet, you can get plenty of pictures on the C-17, I can make a paper plane from these pictures at home, so can you accuse me of copying ? All planes look the same, they've two wings, engines, a nose and a tailfin !
@@juhao356 Oscar Wilde once said "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.", so I guess it ain't that bad after all even if it was a copy.
@@ButchCassidyAndSundanceKid Yeah those who accuse China of copying will next say, oh skycrappers in China resembles the concrete dildos reaching into the sky like those in New York, so they must be copies...they will say oh the Chinese are also using flour and fermentation, so the bakery in China must be a copy...😂😂😂it's such a pathetic pronouncement of jealously and even colonial condenscension.
Same story when the J-31 came out. Everybody accused it of being a copy of the F-35, simply because it came from China. Then every other stealth design that came out since also looked roughly the same i.e. KAI KF-21, TAI TF Kaan etc.
Exactly Amerikkkan always accuse Chinese or black stealing or selling drug if they can do something positive or better than them, because its racism believes they are so smart and superior than the black and brown people.
It has doeble slotted flaps which the C17 does not have. the structure indeed resembles the An-70 more than that of the C17. More sweep, different engines; it is no copy, it just looks similar. And besides; EVERY aircraft manufacturer looks at competing designs during development
Now you want to convince us that China doesn't steal millitary technology from other countries 🙄?! Give is a break. China have been copying US military hardware since forever, they copy Russians ones too. China copies everything, copying is part of China's culture.
It’s obviously a copy. Of course it doesn’t have the same engines. It has copies of them. China doesn’t innovate. They steal the designs and secrets from defense contractors and then build it with some changes they think will be better.
it's modelled after Antonov AN-70! AN-70 program was on halt after the breakup between Ukraine & Russia, Antonov tried in vain to revive the program, but launched a revised version in the coming years, under new codename TTC Plan, with turbofans, prolonged fuselage and some other minor alternations. Finally, TTC program found its ultimate buyer, the lavish Chinese military.....Years later, TCC was materialized in China as Y-20 strategic airlifter.
all of you guys are so incredibly ignorant, there are about 3 to 4 other cargo planes that have the same layout and design of the C-17 and Y-20... Airbus A400, Kawasaki C-2, Il-76.. And the IL-76 which was first introduced in 1971...while the C-17 was introduced in 1991...so the C-17 is a copy of the IL-76!!!!
I just love China for supporting my country in every conflict and resisting to one of the strongest powers in World War II it does not deserve to hate that it has today plus the Y 20 looks more like an N 70 not like a C7 and it has more different capabilities.
Hahahahahaha!!!!! My bicycle is made in China. One of the pedals is reverse threaded as one should be. But the Chinese are so stew pid, they reversed the thread on the wrong side making it so the pedals unscrew as you pedal. Had they reversed the threads on the opposite pedal, the pedals would tighten as you pedaled the bike. The Chinese are so stew pid they didn’t understand this when they copied European bicycles. Sometimes it’s important to understand what you’re copying in order to copy it properly. The Chinese obviously lack the capacity.
Right, the Chinese must have invented a time machine to travel to the 'future' and learn from the KC-390, which made its maiden flight in 2015, two years after its Chinese counterpart's maiden flight.
Because its have wing and wheel, so you expect Chinese to built airplane look like tank and no wing so how its going to create the lift and then fly. You must be a pinky racist boy.
So many aeroplane looks alike.are they copy? AirBus A320 look alike Boeing 737, if Airbus stole from Boeing? The answer is very obvious. Chinese has more than capable of do better than any American can do. That can tell by the number of STEM graduated students between these 2 contries. Chinese was the leader and will be the leader of tech innovation for sure.
It looks like a mishmash of a lot of aircraft. The Chinese are well known for copying other ideas, and maybe they did for this, but this is not a copy of the C17. We would need to go to Japan for that! C2 says hello.
Dude, you need to build an airplane which doesn't look like one, so that people cannot copy your design. It is getting a bit late for you, kid. Mom! Put the kid to bed.
The answer to the question is yes, it’s what they do, most of the time. They are good at making changes and improving the basic design after copying to suit their needs.
