Comac recently released a picture of a model of the C919 commercial airliner, a first for China. I suppose this is China's way of thanking Airbus for giving them the information China needed to get their own aircraft up and running.
Oddly looks like an airbus 320, with 788 cockpit windows, and a scaled down version of an a380 nose. Hmm.
The seat count given (120-200), seems to imply three sub-models, possibly like the A319, 320, 321.
Much remains a mystery, as what materials it will be produced from and whether it will have Fly By Wire. Comac is reportedly negotiating with Western Firms and engine makers such as GE.
Watch out, here it comes. China's commercial aircraft.
