I thought the MA700 was dead
Good to see it proceed to prototype stage

MA600 was a very successful aircraft

Maiden flight scheduled for November 2019.
AVIC plans to apply for airworthiness certification with the United States' Federal Aviation Administration and the European Aviation Safety Agency so the plane can enter the Western market.
Specifications from AVIC show that powered by two PW150C engines, the MA700 has a maximum takeoff weight of 27.6 metric tons, a maximum payload of 8.6 tons, a cruise speed of 580 kilometers per hour as well as a standard range of 1,500 km. It will be capable of carrying up to 86 passengers.

Interesting 185 orders in the bag !
But I think development has been bit slow ?
Even considering MA600 has been around for years

Design has been slow since the new plane will apply for airworthiness certification with the FAA and European Aviation Safety Agency. Leveraging knowledge gained from ARJ21 shadow certification,

Certainly Chinese aviation is moving now
Biggest success is the bags of orders
MA700 total 185 orders
ARJ21 total 433 orders
C919 total 785 orders
Total 1403
This alone should secure success

ARJ21 in tthis sentence shows what orders for now still are orders.
