First made-in-China jetliner soars high and beats stereotypes on Chinese products lacking in quality [quote]Remember the joke mocking the weak durability of ‘Made in China’products and that The Great Wall of China is the only one still prevalent? Well, China’s maiden Regional Jet Airliner ARJ21-700 is here to break the shackles of all stereotypes regarding China products. Painted in red and white,this 100-foot-aviation ship took to the skies last week, travelling from the Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport in Chengdu, to Shanghai city. The flight’s takeoff saw a huge turnout of crowd, and enjoyed a healthy media presence. The flight was designed and manufactured by Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) and operated by Chengdu Airlines. Advanced Regional Jet for the 21st century (ARJ21) is also the country’s first domestically-produced commercial aircraft. Our final goal is to achieve business and market success. The operation has entered a completely new stage. We won a battle, but there is still a long way to go. spoke an ecstatic Tian Jianbo, Deputy Chief Designer of ARJ21.While building the ARJ21-700, COMAC didn’t compromise on flight safety, operational convenience and brand building. A loyal customer of Airbus A320s, Chengdu Airlines was the first airlines to avail of this new aircraft ARJ21-700. Reports say that they have ordered for 30 ARJ21-700s, which they will use toconnect Chengdu and other central and western Chinese cities.

DaudaAbu:The question should be "does Nigeria have in mind having the capability of building aircrafts? " |
