China's first home-grown large amphibious aircraft AG600 completed its first test flight and returned to the Jinwan Civil Aviation Airport in the city of Zhuhai, south China's Guangdong Province, on Sunday.

The flight lasted about one hour at an altitude of 3,000 meters after the amphibious aircraft AG600, code named "Kunlong," soared into the sky from the airport at 9:39.

The plane has a 39.6-meter-long fuselage and 38.8-meter wingspan, said its developer, the state-owned Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC).

It is believed to be the world's largest amphibious aircraft that is in the R and D phase.
