China's first domestically developed strategic air lifter, the Y-20 Kunpeng, will soon be delivered to users, a senior aviation executive said, adding that the development of its engine is "faring well".

"We still need to conduct some ground and flight tests, so I am not able to tell you the exact time of delivery," Geng Ruguang, deputy general manager of the Aviation Industry Corp of China, the country's leading aircraft maker, said at the 10th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, known as Airshow China, in Zhuhai, Guangdong province.
