@Robert
you have no idea what you are talking about.
The airplane is basically a US/EU designed plane with 80% of parts sourced. The avionics are from honeywell, the landing gears from goodyear, engine from CFM leap X project.
The plane would also have to pass FAA regulations making them equivalent in safety to what’s offered on the market.

Basically A320 and 737 are three decade old designs. The C919 with newer aerodynamic design with better engines would likely offer quite substantial fuel savings and carbon foot print.

PS. No offense but unless you are rich enough to own a private jet, you have absolutely no say in what plane you fly in.

Cheers mate

I can’t rely on my dvd or vcr to work for more then a year or two, no way am I going to risk my family on a china made plane. While they may be able to make electronics cheap, the key word there is “cheap”…
