The C919 is China's first real civil aviation large aircraft after the Y-10. The delivery of the first C919 aircraft is another important milestone in the journey of China's large aircraft industry after the C919 was awarded the type qualification certificate by the Civil Aviation Administration of China. It means that after several generations of efforts, China's civil aviation transport market will have the first domestically developed mainline jet aircraft.
According to the data, the C919 large passenger jet is China's first trunk passenger jet with independent intellectual property rights developed by the internationally accepted airworthiness standards. It was approved in 2007 and made its maiden flight in 2017. It has 158-192 seats and a range of 4,075-5,555 kilometers.
