China's first domestically designed and built large aircraft production and test flight center has been completed in east China's Jiangxi Province on Saturday.
The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC)'s production and test flight center is a comprehensive facility for aircraft painting, test flight support, aircraft delivery, maintenance and other related business.
The center will mainly be used for the production and test flights of ARJ21 regional jetliners.
Designed with a capacity of 78 to 90 seats and a range of 3,700 km, ARJ21 is China's first turbofan regional passenger jetliner. A pioneer of China-developed commercial airplanes, it was put into commercial service by Chengdu Airlines in June 2016.
As of the end of 2020, ARJ21 jetliners had safely carried around 1.6 million passengers, according to COMAC.
