China Eastern Airlines will be the first operator of the Comac C919 under an agreement that the carrier and manufacturer signed at Airshow China.

Avic plans to offer a civil freighter version of the Y-20, apparently with a high-bypass engine that has been under development for the military transport.

Customers have signed letters of intent for 17 AG600 amphibian aircraft, says the manufacturer, Avic general-aviation unit Caiga.

A J-20 that performed at Zhuhai may have been a production aircraft, but it also had ill-fitting panels and other features that did not look very stealthy.

Chinese missile and space group Casic is preparing to build a medium-capacity launcher while also moving into liquid-propellant technology.

Probably the biggest industrial advantage in setting up 737 completion and delivery centers in China will be freeing up space at Renton and Boeing Field. These sites face a rise in production rates to 57 a month by 2019, compared with 42 now.

The newly revealed Avic Cloud Shadow appears to have a span of around 20 m (66 ft.), like the General Atomics Avenger used by the U.S. Air Force, though the Chinese aircraft is less bulky and probably lighter.

UAC will build the wing of a widebody aircraft for the 2020s while Comac makes the fuselage. Final assembly will be in Shanghai, Comac’s home.
