​

Wong Tsu (1893–1965; Chinese: 王助) was a Chinese aeronautical engineer. He has been recognized as the first engineer at Boeing. Wong Tsu was born in Beijing, China. At the age of 12, he was selected as a naval cadet, and at 16 he was sent to England to study naval engineering, then to the U.S. to study aeronautical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In the U.S. his name is sometimes inverted to Tsu Wong, to put the family name last, as is the western custom.

Wong Tsu graduated in 1916 from MIT. He then learned to fly at the Curtiss Flying Boat School in Buffalo, New York. In May 1916 the fledgling Boeing Aircraft Company hired him, and he helped design its first successful product, the Boeing Model C, more than 50 of which the U.S. Navy purchased. He also brought considerable expertise in wind tunnel testing to Boeing, and advised on the design of the Boeing Aerodynamical Chamber at the University of Washington. In 1917, after around a year at Boeing, he returned to China where he became chief secretary of the airline China National Aviation Corporation. His picture appears in the account of Central Aircraft Manufacturing Company, a joint venture between China and the Curtiss-Wright Corporation.

When the Kuomintang government was defeated in the Chinese civil war, Wong went to Taiwan where he became professor of aviation at Cheng Kung University. He died on March 4, 1965 in Tainan at the age of 71.

During his lifetime, Wong is believed to have had a hand in designing 30 aircraft. In 2004, at a time when Boeing was hoping to increase its ties to the Chinese aviation industry, Boeing unveiled a plaque and exhibit at its Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington, honoring his work as its first engineer.

Chinese-made large passenger jet #C919 takes off on its maiden flight. Here're some key development stages #XinhuaTV

https://twitter.com/x/status/860395915546419200

EIGHT counts for another remarkable achievement!!! JIAYOU!!!

SHANGHAI, May 5 (Xinhua) -- China sent its homegrown large passenger plane C919 into sky on Friday 2017-05-05, becoming one of the world's top makers of jumbo aircraft.

The flight makes China the fourth jumbo jet producer after the United States, Europe and Russia. It also marks a milestone for the Commercial Aircraft Corp of China (COMAC), the Shanghai-based manufacturer of C919.

Differs from the above clip,
This terse video clip focused on the LANDING part with CLOSE-UP LOOK!!

https://twitter.com/x/status/860452896176881664

And it embeds a good reminder, after so many years some may have just forgotten the meaning of its name (like myself ):

The "C" in the aircraft's name stands for both China and COMAC,
while 9 symbolizes "forever" in Chinese culture,
and 19 represents the 190 seats at maximum capacity.
​

A TOUCHING MOMENT... a lifetime remembrance

C919 chief designer Wu Guanghui hugged with maiden flight test pilot Cai Jun after landing. Congratulations!

C919 share the same HUD as the Y-20 (中国C919客机首飞成功！驾驶室装有运20同款HUD)

Why do you bring kaveri into this discussion that was truly uncalled for i did not criticize anyone I was making a valid comment
The p&w engines are used by many Indian carriers like indigo & goair and are suffering a lot from it the LEAP which are used by the c 919s are problem free until now.

They are relatively new on Jet Engine development field as compare to US, Russian and EU there first engine WS-10 is in mass production for their J- series of number built# 400+ from 2009 and they are developing a replacement of western Leap engine is here

you come here for troll , i am reporting you and for your information LEAP engine is not from P & W its come from GE

Ohh dear lord..
Comprehensive error from you part.i was not trolling here merely congratulating them on producing a great aircraft and using a western engine which will ensure better commonality with other aircraft which will ensure that this aircraft can be maintained easily by any customer all over the world

Dude don't teach me about commercial jet engines from your Wikipedia knowledge. I work in the commercial aviaton field and have worked on the CFM/GE engines. I never said LEAP was from p&w it's a joint venture between GE& safran. And their engines power 50%of the world narrow body segment.read comments propely before replying geez
This is why I told choosing a western engine is better.the Russians have delveloped their own engines for their commercial aviaton and nobody bought their aircraft that's because they have to train their maintanance personal to repair these engines which is a costly affair.

That's why c 919 is different I think this aircraft will sell very well.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF CHINA'S CIVIL AVIATION INDUSTRY

https://twitter.com/x/status/860565769029128193

The long time passenger plane designer, Cheng Bushi, was seen holding the Chinese flag (R) during the first roll-off of C919, November 02, 2015 - he should be deeply attached to that great moment after spending so many years​

Congratulations China

Possibility of C919 to be as an "AWACS"? could be depend on the engine development

Check this out, can you find another group like these with such "Passion, Hard work" while enable us to just comfortably staying home to enjoy the achievement of their efforts, got to gave my biggest "salute" to them

Yeah bro probably Just like Turkish and Australian AWACS with rotodome or maybe plate antenna
