It is reported that at the 2023 Shanghai International Commercial Airshow held in November, COMAC launched a new modification of the C919 commercial aircraft, which are C919 shortened and C919 extended. COMAC said that the C919 shortened or high prototype "can meet the transportation needs of the western region, is suitable for take-off and landing at airports in plateau areas, and has strong plateau adaptability and economy."
The C919 prototype jointly developed by COMAC and ** Aviation is the prototype. **Aviation is the world's first airline to operate on the plateau, and its rich experience in plateau operation and valuable operation data have greatly promoted the development of domestic large aircraft prototypes. According to the reporter's understanding, there are only four "high plateau" models in China's civil aviation fleet: Boeing 737-700, 757 (freighter) and Airbus A319 and A330.
In the next step, with the gradual implementation of the cooperation project between the first aviation and COMAC, it will effectively promote the prosperity and development of the region and long-term stability, accelerate the in-depth development of the domestic large aircraft industry, and play a positive role in forming an internationally competitive plateau aviation industry cluster, expanding and strengthening China's civil aviation industry, accelerating the high-quality development of civil aviation, and promoting the construction of aviation emergency rescue capacity in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
