Shirley you cannot be serious.

The fuselage width of the A320 and C919 are very close (3.96m in the C919, 3.95m in the A320neo) so it's just different camera angles and lenses. The real challenge isn't the fuselage at this stage, but getting the CJ-1000 engines ready. I can't see the govt wanting too many CFM engined models going into the domestic market if they can avoid it, as it completely undermines the point of resilience to US sanctions/trade war pressures.

Doesn't look PSed. C919 flying with a drag chute, presumably for flight test purposes.
