Hi Freedom,

The photo of the ARJ-21; with "COMAC" painted on the side, in blue... (plane in white, with exception of the blue tail).

Is that a real photo or a CGI?

Reason for asking being that I always have the impression that the majority of Chinese designed plane have rather boring or messy paint schemes; then again how many Chinese planes have I seen ... . Just wondering if the above photo is a company (COMAC) produced CGI for marketing purposes, or is this their new paint schemes.

PS. I like that paint scheme. Looks very clean and simple.

One hint: it looks simple, clean, and modern. So the answer is that it's a fan made CGI.

Just a maybe funny question but after the J-20 2001 has flown out to Xi'an-Yanglian, 2002 is already quite an "old" news and no longer really exciting and SAC still doen't get the pants off to show their J-XYZ .... so "WHAT" will be the next mayor unveiling this year we could expect ... and most of all "WHEN" ????

- Y-20 or a smaller tactical transport
- Y-7AEW
- J-16, J-17, J-19 from SAC
- J-21 from CAC
- JH-XX
- a new carrier type
- Q-6


So what and when ??
