The biggest story coming out of Chinese state-run and private media all day today
Expectations are high that Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (C) will emerge as an aircraft manufacturer following Airbus (A) and Boeing (B).
The structure of making airplanes is such that it is difficult for new companies to enter the market because patents and various technologies are monopolized by Airbus and Boeing.
The C919 is a model that Chinese state-run COMAC began research and development in 2006 and completed after 16 years.
There have been several test flights before, but this is the first commercial flight with actual passengers on board.
It took off from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport with about 130 passengers on board and arrived at Beijing Capital International Airport in about 2 hours.
Although it was said to be self-developed , some say it is embarrassing to call it self -developed since the aircraft engine and internal digital panel were developed using technology from GE and Western countries.
