空中交通网的公告,4月23日08:30至11:00,C919飞机在上海浦东机场进行高滑抬前轮试验
,受此影响,浦东机场通行能力预计下降70%左右。

  目前C919大型客机首架机已经通过了首飞放飞评审,并于近日完成了第3次高速滑行测试。在明天的高滑抬前轮实验后,C919很快将会迎来首飞
Translation of the highlighted text:

According to CAAC, C919 will conduct high speed taxing test with front landing gear off ground between 08:30 AM to 11:00 AM on April 23rd at Pudong airport.

After the test on April 23rd, C919 will conduct its first flight any time soon.

The project "灵雀" was announced at least back in 2015 by COMAC. See here

. It is another evidence of "if one want to know about China, information is there to be found, China will not spoon feed or try to convince someone". To Franklin, this rant of mine is not aimed at you.:)
