COMAC tests shortened version of C919 for high-altitude airports
A new variant of the Chinese C919 passenger aircraft, developed by COMAC, has taken to the skies over Shanghai for the first time. Contrary to the market trend, the company shortened the fuselage: the modification is intended for operation at high-altitude airports with challenging conditions. The decision is explained not only by commerce but also by the state objectives of Chinese industry.
