Fly, Great Sea Eagle

Abstract

China's own design and manufacture, the PS-5 seaplane bomber is a success! This achievement fills a gap in the history of the Chinese aviation industry and indicates that the Chinese aviation industry has advanced to a new level. The seaplane is an aircraft and a naval vessel blended into one. It has such features as good performance at low altitude, good concealment ability, good combat radius, and a long cruise duration. It can carry such weapons as air-to-ship missiles, deep-water bombs, torpedoes and mines. It is the ideal set-up for carrying out strikes against enemy naval vessels and submarines. At the same time, it is an effective tool for submarine hunting, anti-submarine, patrol, rescue and transport studies. Chinese translations.
