La C919 cinese ha un problema che nessuno si aspettava

China's C919 was supposed to shatter the Boeing-Airbus duopoly. A state-backed aircraft, built for the world's fastest-growing aviation market, with thousands of domestic orders pending behind it. But the aircraft that was supposed to change commercial aviation has run into a far harsher reality. Weight, range, certification, supply chains, and production delays have transformed China's flagship jet into something far more complicated. And while COMAC struggles to bring the C919 to market, two smaller aircraft are quietly changing the underlying market. Not by attacking Boeing and Airbus directly, but by demonstrating that airlines might want something very different.
