In 2006, China government launched a Y-XX program for the development of large transport aircraft to meet its military modernization drive by 2015. Two major Chinese aviation companies Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation and Xi'an Aircraft Corporation expressed interest to develop the Y-XX aircraft, but Xi'an was announced as the manufacturer with the official codenam Y-20 Kunpeng in 2007 . The development of the Y-20 is believed to have benefited greatly from assistance by the Ukrainian Antonov design bureau, as it was dependent on a Russian turboprop engine. The first Y-20 prototype made its maiden flight on January 2013. There is however a catch though in terms of availability of suitable engines to power the aircraft. China plans to use its own under-development WS-20 engines for production aircraft. But, possible delays in the development of the WS-20 engine could also result in slowing down the Y-20 program. It was reported that the Y-20 should only be an interim measure, leaving resources to develop a more capable aircraft using the Y-20 experience.
