regulator says more testing needed to certify C919 aircraft."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>China\u2019s aviation regulator said on Friday that there is still a huge amount of testing to be done for the home-grown narrowbody <strong>C919 <\/strong>aircraft to be certified, raising doubt over planemaker COMAC\u2019s year-end target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/12\/china-lifts-the-ban-737-max-flights.html\">China finally lifts the ban on Boeing 737 MAX flights.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, the C919, China\u2019s attempt to rival Airbus SE and Boeing Co, has completed only 34 certification tests out of 276 planned, Yang Zhenmei, a Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) official, told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In September reported COMAC has found it harder to meet certification and production targets for the C919 amid tough U.S. export rules, according to three people with knowledge of the programme, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/china-aviation-c919\/update-1-china-regulator-says-more-testing-needed-to-certify-c919-aircraft-idUSL1N2SO06F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Reuters<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/11\/study-on-emissions-from-100-sustainable-fuels.html\">Study on emissions from 100% sustainable fuels provides promising results.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China Eastern Airlines Corp said in August it expected to receive its first C919 by the end of the year, but that would require the model to be certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>COMAC is years behind its initial certification schedule and it did not take the C919 to China\u2019s biggest air show in Zhuhai in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C919 Chief Designer Wu Guanghui last month recommended CAAC continue to focus on certification as a priority for next year and asked it to step up resources to help with the delivery and commercial operations of the plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo: Weimeng\/<a
