It flew from Shanghai to Beijing.
“The first commercial flight is a coming-of-age ceremony of the new aircraft, and C919 will get better and better if it stands the test of the market,” said Zhang Xiaoguang, director of the marketing and sales department of COMAC, in a Xinhua report.
The launch of the C919 came after years of research and developments and is a crucial part of Beijing’s “Made in China 2025” strategy. Equipped with a range of up to 5,555 kilometers , the C919 is a direct competitor to the A320 and B737, narrowbody jets by Boeing and Airbus. The aircraft boasts 164 seats in a two-class cabin configuration consisting of business and economy seats. It is also a single-aisle, twin-engined plane.The 2022 Shanghai Science and Technology Progress Report issued by the Shanghai government noted that 32 clients had placed a total of 1,035 orders for the plane as of the end of 2022.
The plane was built by COMAC in China who designed many of the plane’s major elements such as the nose, fuselage, outer wing, vertical stabilizer and horizontal stabilizer.
