China’s widebody C929 jet lands first buyer at top-flight Zhuhai air show - SCMP

Quick Summary:

The home-grown C929, still underdevelopment, was the subject of a preliminary purchase agreement at China’s premier air show.

The smaller plane, formerly known as the ARJ21, has been officially rechristened to better line up with the naming conventions of its larger brethren.

Comac expects the C929 to be able to fly as far as 12,000km (7,456 miles) – longer than the distance from Beijing to New York – and has set 2027 as a deadline for making deliveries to customers.
