An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
These are actual statements and comments about the airliner from various press sources.
"The C919 will carry "the will of the state, the dream of the Chinese nation and the expectations of the Chinese people," said Jin Zhuanglong, chairman of Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC). He added the project is in line with the spirit of "aeronautical patriotism.""
"has more to do with nationalism than commercial intent," estimating that only 30 percent of the plane is Chinese-made, with most key components from engines to avionics coming from U.S. companies."
"COMAC is a widely respected company and their products will compete in the global aviation airplane industry ... at times we will both compete and collaborate with each other."
"The expectation is that C919 will build a derivative that will meet FAA standards, which aviation experts believe will take [another] seven years,"
“We tested the whole plane, its key components, and connecting parts,” said Li Qiang, a technician at the Design and Research Center of the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), as quoted by the Xinhua news agency.
"COMAC has reportedly received 570 orders for the C919 passenger jet from 23 customers."
