Y 20 is military projects under Central CCP leadership,no need to consider costs at the first place and no need to wait foreign engines!

C919 needs to be certified by FAA or EASA to prove it is safe enough, that will take a long time. It is designed and produced by COMAC and it involves a more complex supplier system.

Actually, Y-20 is a much more complex and difficult project. A military grade 200tons transport plane need to land on unprepared air strap. The amount of sand , dust places great demand on the robustness. Plus advance avionics to allow accurate airdrop of equipment day and night... plus Intergration of many military grade equipment like chaff or ECM. All these are not require for commercial aircraft.

If indeed WS-20 powered, then it is the Y-20B since the current model is already the Y-20A.

Now I think it is indeed only a standard Y-20A with all four D-30s under maintenance and their service panels opened. (via "by78"/SDF)
