China hopes to rival Boeing and Airbus with its personal business jet. Robin Brant obtained a glance inside a mock-up C919. Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog …
I see that COMAC went with sidesticks like Airbus instead of a yoke like Boeing. I'm disappointed in that decision especially with what happened to Air France flight 447. i believe the yoke is the superior design.
Well Since Apple has their products built in China and are top quality im sure the same would go with Commercial Aircraft, its not like a cheaply made Squire Stratocaster that cost 99.00
West should not envy. West can do Asian can do better. See now asian become richer and richer while the west become poorer and poorer. All because of their stupidity.

engine is the problem
looks like a Russian MC21
Western medias are always biased against china,you cannot wake up a pretending sleeping guy
Imagine "MADE IN CHINA" written in bold on an airliner.
Too bad the Russians are also making a plane that would beat China even if China beats A&B
This man is so funny by showing his ignorance to the world. Let's talk about it in 5-10 years.

Sooner there will be no more business for airbus and boeing.
Made in china, these three words now apply to commercial aircrafts. You are saying it like its a joke. As a Chinese person, I am offended.
It basically is a sukio superjet.
Still love the Boeing 777 better, but that China plane has surpassed a lot of planes!
Nice work China, another stolen tech
China's knockoff of the AIRBUS A320
West should not envy. West can do Asian can do better. See now asian become richer and richer while the west become poorer and poorer. All because of their stupidity.
Your iphone is also made in China
do you trust to your life with made in China?
So it's a mix 787 and a350. Good job China instead of making your own copy not off one but 2 big aerospace company.
Well, this is the BBC.
So I wonder how much of this news story is fake.
It's either 99% or 100%.
Not clear yet.
this aircraft look like mini clone of airbus 350 and 787
