Yeah let go back to aviation via Yusheng. They have such a backlog they need to built 2nd or 3rd assembly line

Via Yusheng apparently they already built "2nd line" more line 2nd plant in Pudong

in 2018 ,Comac final assembly manufacturing center pudong base production area phase ii (518776.2 square meters) has started too.
the "second line" is under way as plan. in fact, it is not the line, it is the new factory.

COMAC has two main manufactories in Shanghai, one in Zhuqiao, another in Dachang. these basements are not only for ARJ, also for C919, C929.
for the time being, the old line can make 20 ARJ a year, and 25 next year, whether the second line be open or not depending on the need.

above photoes are from Dachang basement. here are some pictures of Zhuqiao basement, you can see the differences.

:On December 28, 2009, the final assembly manufacturing center pudong base started construction on a beach overgrown with reeds. After nearly six years of hard work, the first stage of construction has been basically completed. In this 4,000-mu land (1mu=667 square meter), 12 modern assembly and manufacturing plants for civil aircraft have been built, five assembly linesof the international advanced civil aircraft department have been put into use, and some workshops and departments of Shanghai commercial aircraft corporation have opened office modes in two places.

besides the shanghai basement, other basements in other province are also under construction.

Comac jiangxi production test flight center holds the foundation laying ceremony in nanchang high-tech zone on April 26, 2019, marking the official location of the project in jiangxi. The project, with an investment of 2 billion yuan, is mainly responsible for the interior decoration installation, painting, production test flight support, customer delivery support, maintenance and operation guarantee of domestic ARJ21 new regional aircraft. After the completion of the project, it will further promote and enhance comac's production and test flight capacity in other places, and have a positive impact on the development of civil aviation industry in jiangxi province.

Big news! Just now, China's first domestic large-scale turbofan aircraft (ARJ21) maintenance training simulator completed certification
Wenhui client 2019-05-09 17:27:14

Just now, the Civil Aviation East China Regional Administration issued a message: According to the application of Shanghai Aircraft Customer Service Co., Ltd. (Commercial Customer Service), on May 9, the Shanghai Civil Aviation Authority completed the relevant certification review before the ARJ21 maintenance training simulator was put into operation. This is also the first certified ARJ21 maintenance training simulator in China.

Chinese researchers are developing a satellite-based monitoring system capable of tracking and reporting the location of airliners in flight in nearly real time, according to project leaders.

Sky Mirror, designed by China Electronics Technology Group Corp's 54th Research Institute in Shijia-zhuang, capital of Hebei province, will enable air traffic controllers to avoid another tragedy similar to that involving Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in which ground control lost the tracking of the jetliner due to suspected human factors, and will also help rescuers quickly and accurately locate airliners in distress.

With these advantages, the system will extensively improve civil aviation industry safety around the world, said Wei Haitao, deputy head of the institute's satellite navigation operation.

MH370, which carried 239 passengers and crew, disappeared from radar screens during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014. "After the MH370 incident, the need for time-sensitive air traffic surveillance has rapidly increased," he said.

"We were asked by our civil aviation authorities to design and construct a space-based network that can monitor and track the real-time location and flight trajectory of civil airliner."

Currently, air traffic controllers mainly rely on ground surveillance radar to track flights, but this approach is subject to many restrictions such as the radars' detection range and the absence of such equipment on the sea.

The improved method, involving the use of a satellite-enabled device called automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast, or ADS-B, in which a plane obtains its position via satellite navigation and periodically broadcasts the information to ground control, also requires a certain number of ground facilities along the flight route.

In contrast, Sky Mirror will consist of a number of satellites placed in low-Earth orbit and will receive signals emitted by the ADS-B from airborne airliners, no matter where they are, and then transfer the location to ground control, Wei explained.

He said new airliners to be delivered to domestic carriers in the future will all be equipped with ADS-B capable of receiving navigation and positioning signals from China's Beidou Navigation Satellite System, and will benefit from Beidou's high-accuracy services.

Ye Hongjun, project manager of Sky Mirror, said the system's first satellite will soon be launched on a Long March 11 carrier rocket to perform a two-year technological demonstration. He added that eight such satellites are scheduled for launching in 2021 to form a regional system covering the Asia-Pacific region and will then offer commercial services to airlines.

China is the second nation, after the United States, that is developing and building a space-based air traffic surveillance network. The researchers made the remarks on the sidelines of the 10th China Satellite Navigation Conference which opened in Beijing on Wednesday.

Maiden flight this year

Should be another milestone in China’s aviation industry

Plus all those other prototypes for C919

And more progress on C929

And ramp up production on ARJ21
