COMAC C929 Widebody Airliner

- Start date
Do we know how many local and foreign components it is going to have? Lets start by saying that China+Russia products count as local

A few more images of CR929's landing gear assembly, including a bigger version of a previously shared image.
The gentleman sitting fourth to the left in the very front row looks like Dr. Shi Haiming, a Chinese expert in AI and is affiliated with the National University of Defense Technology in Changsha.
Its possible that there will be foreign components that wont be available. There were/are problems with the MC-21 project regarding this.
If that will also extend to CR929, its possible but it remains to be seen.

with experience of ARJ21 + C919 and Russia included why cant both build C929 without foreign tenders ?
well sure you can but it will 1. cost more (not just money but time) and 2. have a hard time getting certified by Europe and US. now ofc with the way things are going if CR929 can carve out a market between China, Russia, central Asia and some of Eastern Europe, then it is definitely the way to go.
