The XTW-4 is the latest XTW series craft that was developed by CSSRC. Its design is similar to the XTW-1 and 2, so apparently the different tail layout of the XTW-3 was not successful. For the first time CSSRC is using turboprop engines in its WIG craft. Two PT-6A-15AG turboprops run the 5 blade propellers. The XTW-4 was launched in september 1999 and by early 2000 trails in the Changjiang River were completed.

Unlike the earlier XTW craft the XTW-4 is intended for sea operation. For the construction a new type of high strength, corrosion resistant aluminium alloy has been used. All primary control surfaces of the XTW-4 are operated by rod-cable systems, hydraulics are used to operate the taxiing gear.]]> China Ship Scientific Research Centre's XTW-4 Ekranoplan

Allied Signal modified a 720-051B to test the TFE731-40 turbofan engine.

Allied Signal's TFE731-40 Testbed wears construction number 18384. It first flew on September 15, 1961. TWA leased it as N794TW beginning on August 27, 1961. Northwest leased it as N733US on October 26, 1962 and then bought it on July 1, 1968. Maersk Air registered it as OY-APZ in January 1973 and leased it to Nigeria Airways in December 1974. TEA leased it as OO-TYA on November 6, 1979 and returned it to Maersk on January 19, 1980. Conair acquired it on February 16, 1981.

Allied Signal registered it as N720GT on November 24, 1987 and mounted an engine test pylon on the right side of the forward fuselage.]]> Boeing 720-051B with five engines
