1st C919 for Suparna Airlines was supposed to be delivered in Q4 2024. But so far, there hasn't been any indication of it. May be this would be the first C919 to have an all-economy class cabin.
How much thrust does this add? Does it allow the C919 to supercruise?

Clearly it’s a joke. RATs are basically a wind mill used to generate Electricity. The 20mm gun pod on the F4 Phantom had a RAT.
The third C919 for Air China (registration B-919Z) appears to have been delivered as well, making it the 2nd delivery of the month and the 12th one of the year.
final C919 delivery this year is to MU. 12 in total this year and 16 over all. Also 35 C909 deliveries.
Fantastic. Closing in on Embraer as the number 3 civilian airliner manufacturer.
Embraer is looking at deliveries of 55 E-jets this year. Those are C909 equivalent regional jets. They have no narrow-body model like the C919 though they stated they are planning one.
Embraer does have a robust business jet arm that COMAC doesn't have so far.
