Comac C919 Takes Off on Maiden Commercial Flight.

China's first domestically-made large passenger jet, the C919, completed its maiden commercial flight from Shanghai to Beijing with 130 passengers on board. The 164-seat aircraft is made by state-owned aerospace manufacturer Commercial Aviation Corporation of China (Comac) and is seen as a competitor to Airbus and Boeing. The C919's commercial debut was delayed by technical difficulties and supply issues, but Comac has already secured more than 1,200 orders for the jet. The aircraft has two cabins, with eight seats in business class and 156 in economy, and features custom-designed interiors, passenger seats, and in-flight entertainment systems.
