CCTV reporter Tian Ruonan: This is the latest member of the Kunpeng family, the Y-20B, which has just completed its first overseas mission less than a year after its debut. And this is its "Chinese heart"—a scale model of the WS-20 engine.

Air Force Aviation Regiment Jin Jian: This is currently our most advanced domestically developed heavy transport aircraft, the Y-20B. Compared to the Y-20A, the power system, including its internal hydraulics and other systems, has been upgraded, and the most intuitive feeling for pilots is that the quality and performance are much more effortless.

Since switching to our independently developed "Chinese heart," the Y-20B flies farther and more steadily! Netizens: The compatibility of the domestic engine with "My Chinese Heart" is perfect.
