Four years ago, on November 29, a new feeder line aircraft of China’s home-made ARJ21-700 was officially delivered.

Departing from Shanghai, the airplane flew to Chengdu, beginning its commission with Chengdu Airlines. The delivery marked another milestone in the country’s aviation industry since the China-developed large-type passenger plane, the C919, was completed in the Pudong base of COMAC (Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China) on November 2nd 2015.

The delivery of ARJ21-700 was heralded as a big breakthrough in China’s efforts to develop its domestic jet plane design and manufacturing capabilities.

In the meantime, as a jet with 78 to 90 seats and a flight range of 2,225 to 3,700 kilometers, ARJ21 is the first self-developed feeder line aircraft with independent intellectual rights that meets international standards. The variants of the series include the baseline ARJ21-700, the extended ARJ21-900 version, the dedicated freight carrier ARJ21F and the business class aircraft ARJ21B.
