China's first domestic passenger jet aircraft "ARJ21" will be put into commercial flight as early as next year. Although at present the aircraft has not yet officially entered the international market, but it should be reckoned with future development potential.
ARJ is referred to as "regional jet" small aircraft with seats between 70 and 90 and developed by state-owned China commercial aircraft (COMAC). Regional jet is most suitable to be used at close range, low cost of transportation and the global demand is now expanding.
"The main manufacturer - supplier" model has been reflected on the ARJ21 in domestic. In addition to the domestic large aircraft, others that represented by the ARJ21 domestic regional jet will make the comac system of commercial products more abundant. Comac will develop commercial series products, the downstream extension, the formation of civil aircraft design integration, assembly manufacturing, customer service, financial leasing, maintenance modification and subcontract production which is relatively complete business chain, aiming to achieve scale development.
It is reported that China's domestic aircraft is still in its infant stage. But it will step onto the world stage foreseeable future sooner or later if seizing the rapidly expanding domestic market of saving energy.
