some news from SAC. Looks like they might be getting Y-9 ready for test flight soon. They put the project on hold for a while there, but it got restarted recently.

Nice, looks very modern. The general set up looks an awfully lot like the 787 cockpit:

^ Blitzo posted a photo of an 787 simulator for comparison but the photo posted by A.Men is not the same! The guy is also pretty obviously Chinese. It looks like the C919 cockpit is similar to but obviously not identical to 787 cockpit.

The plastic work (or whatever you call it) is still not as good as western cockpits but I don't think they really worry much about appearance as long as the job gets done first.

I personally think they've done a good job, with everything looking quite flush but kind of rugged/durable at the same time.

They just gotta seal up the panels in the simulator now, don't want people crashing their heads into the metal frame :D

Re: China's transport plane capacities

I have to say that this surprised me a little bit. The weapon purchases from Venezuela just continues. Interesting that they are not ordering Y-9 or something, but I guess those are not ready yet. China did make some changes for the new batch of Y-8C that they inducted recently, so Venezuela is probably getting those.

Venezuela plans to buy up to 12 Y-8 transport aircraft from China, a senior military official said on Friday, adding to a list of recent defense purchases from the Asian country.

Major Gen. Jorge Oropeza said the government was negotiating the purchase of between 10 and 12 of the medium range transport planes, which have a 7.5 hour flight range.

"These Y-8 will add to our operations with Hercules C-130s," he said. "Their reach extends through South America and to Spain."

He did not reveal the projected cost of the deal.

China this year delivered 18 K-8 training jets to the South American country and has also sold it a network of radars.

The Russians want to change the Il-76 order to the newer Il-476, but little else has been discussed.
