COMAC C919

@Deino

Apparently rumours of a suspension of test flights were false, and two C919s took off to fly around today to prove them wrong.


B-001A from Yanliang




B-001C from Pudong

Xinhua report on the latest tests.


Besides telling the details of test items of each flight, Xinhua also reported that item 103 is being installed with cables and payload equipment (机载系统) that indicate 103 is in the later stage of assembly.

Have we any photos of 103?

Next year apparently 3 more will enter

B-001C = 103
It landed at Shandong Dongying today. Dongying is the first test site of COMAC. Note, Xi'an is primarily (so far) site for military.
