China's independently developed AG600 large amphibious aircraft has initiated a full-scale fatigue test, its developer, the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), said on Wednesday.

The test is being carried out at the Aircraft Strength Research Institute of China in Yanliang District in Xi'an City, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, according to the AVIC, the country's leading aircraft manufacturer.

The AVIC said the test will provide an important basis for the future life extension and modification of the AG600 aircraft.
