MA600 aircraft obtains flying certificate of CAAC
15:44, May 19, 2010

The new generation of regional whirlpool aircraft-MA600, strictly manufactured under the airworthiness standard of CAAC, successfully obtained a flying certificate today. This means the MA600 aircraft will be mass produced and enter the market soon.

The MA600 aircraft has undergone 18 months of experimental verification and completed the first wet runway flight trial in China. It meets all standards for a flying certificate of China Civil Aviation Administration (CAAC) and qualifies for the world's advanced ranks of regional whirlpool aircraft.

American engines...! Though, I'm still very wary of Chinese planes, after hearing about the J-10 crashes...

Excellent news. Arrival of Chinese aircraft would end the duopoly of Airbus and Boeing in the market. It is very unfortunate that Russians couldn't take in a slice of civilian market pie of air transport. Otherwise, we'd be having ferocious price wars between Boeing, Airbus, Tupolev and CAAC.

This is actually a very good point, how come russia does not apply its engine technology to civil aviations industry? is it because the commercial environment was not as favourable in russia? how about now?

It's because of Tupolev's early records of crashes. East Europeans who used to have no choice but to ride the planes clapped when they landed successfully. Safty aside, the engines roared louder than a bulldozer, not suitable for civilian aircraft. People used to scream to someone right next to them.

A recent example of Russian quality would be the Tu-154 crash, which killed the Polish president, his wife, chief of the General Staff, the National Bank president, deputy foreign minister, senior military officials, government officials, MPs, and clergies.

Maybe you Chinese inherited your quality trait from the Russians?

Calm down, I was just asking a question, no other intentions.

By the way since you are so critical of other people's engines, care to explain what engine you canucks make? (dog powered sledding don't count).

I've read it somewhere that both Russia and Japan are planning to build large/mid-sized civilian jets at the moment.
