First observations:

The vertical tail surfaces look to be far too small for such a large and powerful aircraft.

Like the Fairchild C-82, I think this aircraft could be somewhat underpowered, given its performance specifications.

I had the same impression with the tail when I finished the drawing, but then I lokked at this picture http://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints…oxcar-32987.jpg

Doesn't look much bigger I think....

I think if you scaled it out you would find the total vertical area - including the 'keel' between the empennage and the nacelles totals far more than what you've currently drawn.

Compared with the rest of the mass of the aircraft, the empennage is far too dainty.

Maybe this point will appear when the prototypes will be flown and tested. And some modifications before serial production will be done ;)

I see China will soon be having legal difficulties from Fairchild for violation of intellectual properties...

Especially considering Fairchild just has flown the plane I find it interesting China was able to develop such an aircraft.

OOC: Pardy, while you did ask whether or not the US was going to develop the C-82, I did tell you that the US had the aircraft in the development stage.

This is not an unlegal license production or a clone of a US-aircraft. It's a pure chinese development !!!
