Comac C919 Passenger Jet Plane

The Comac C919 is a single-aisle, narrow-body commercial passenger jet developed by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC). Introduced in 2008, it made its maiden flight on May 5, 2017. The aircraft is designed to compete with popular single-aisle jets like the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737. The C919 features twin engines and is intended for medium-range flights. Its development involved extensive testing, including aircraft performance, engine systems, avionics, and passenger facilities. The program faced delays due to flight testing issues and modifications, pushing back its initial planned introduction. The aircraft's development also involved controversy, with allegations of intellectual property theft from foreign component manufacturers to aid Chinese production capabilities.
