An Aviation Industry Corp of China (AVIC) C919 is seen on display at the Asian Aerospace International Expo and Congress 2009 in Hong Kong on September 8, 2009. China has unveiled the design of what will be its largest home-produced commercial jet, the C919, at the air show, demonstrating the country’s ambition to be a global aviation giant. The single-aisle aircraft was designed by Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, or COMAC, and is part of China’s long-term plan to break the duopoly of Airbus and Boeing in the production of large commercial aircraft.
