Thanks a lot ... but concerning the "successful completion of static test with 2.5G load limit" ... isn't this a bit low?? As far as I know, both Airbus and Boeing are testing their planes up to even higher loads. Or was this simply the completion for the 2.5G load limit and further tests will follow?

This is limit load static test before maiden flight, not extreme load test to which Boeing 787(for exmaple) were subjected some 2 years after maiden flight.

Thanks !

Any clues what the current schedule for the maiden flight ?? ... some reports assume only in the second quarter 2017.

China plans to develop the C9X9 family with a new integer for X every 5-7 years, X= 2,3,4,5....

these are baby steps towards breaking the dualistic grip of boeing and airbus on the commercial aviation industry.

these 156 seater classes are only the beginning.
