How does the airframe flying hours compare with the equivalent Boeing or Airbus aircraft? Is it like their fighters, where overall flying hours on the airframe can only reach on average 50% of western airframes flying hours??

C919 finishes the ASE test on the ground.

Airframe hours is not that important in Civil Aviation than Military Aviation, civil aircraft seldom go over speed of sound which don't stress the airframe as much. Most Civil Aviation count the longevity of an aircraft on their landing cycle instead.

Pardon for the maybe stupid question, but is this already a real CR929 prototype or static test specimen or just a test body segment?
