Online Edition
CHINA’S homegrown passenger jet C919 will make its maiden flight on May 5 at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, Xinhua news agency reported today.
The C919 single-aisle aircraft completed high-speed taxiing tests at Pudong International Airport on April 23, the last step before its maiden flight.
The narrow-body C919, with 168 seats and a range of 5,000 kilometers, will compete with the updated Airbus A320 and Boeing’s new-generation 737, which currently dominate the market.
The maiden flight will be delayed if the weather is too bad for takeoff, Xinhua said.
