Wow, they actually delivered it just a little over two months from its certification date. For the ARJ21, it took nearly 11 months from certification (Dec. 2014) to delivery (Nov. 2015). Pretty cool. The ARJ21 took another 7 months from delivery until it was able to go into service, so we'll see if the C919 can beat that.
first step always tough. build infrastructure , ecosystem and stable the supply chain.

more surprises coming. C919 serial production will be faster too.

and CR929 rolling out will be easier than C919. as this project get immense help from stable ecosystem.
