Some photos of CR929's composite fuselage development...

The latest development. A test fuselage is being assembled from the composite panels:

This is only the main fuselage. It does not have the wings or the tail structures. It does seem a lot thinner in the outside walls than what I can remember vs the B787 or the A350 though. It looks about as thin as a metal structure. But the reinforcing ribs look larger. Still yes this is a significant milestone.

Pardon for the maybe stupid question, but is this already a real CR929 prototype or static test specimen or just a test body segment?
