And Y-12 family
Oh yup, missed one.
Though, it should be noted that the Y-12 is also not a large-sized fixed-wing aircraft (MTOW of ~5 tons).
16 C919 deliveries this year.
Looking forward to when they can really reach their production targets if at least 50 a year. Maybe in a couple of years it’s feasible.16 C919 deliveries this year.
The situiation of C-919 isn't good. Western suppliers are dragging down the progress
I think COMAC made a mistake by focusing on getting US and European airworthiness certificate，rather than focusing on indigenization of the plane. The logic of COMAC is you can only get Western airworthiness certificate by using Western parts，if you insist on indigenization then you won't get Western airworthiness certificate

On the contrary, the C919 reached certification when it did precisely because COMAC went with the JV approach. It will be significantly easier to indigenize the C919's supply chain from the level of maturity the program has already reached today than if COMAC had started with full indigenization as a starting requirement.
