COMAC announced today: On February 20, 2024, on the opening day of the Singapore Airshow, ** Airlines and COMAC signed orders for 40 C919 and 10 ARJ21 aircraft. CAIC and COMAC signed an order for six ARJ21 derivatives, including ARJ21 fire extinguishers, ARJ21 medical aircraft and ARJ21 emergency rescue command aircraft.
The C919 prototype is one of the important models of the C919 aircraft serialization development, which meets the transportation requirements of the plateau area by shortening the fuselage and implementing plateau modification on the basis of the C919 basic model. The number of seats is 140-160, and the take-off and landing performance meets all high-altitude airports in China.
With a maximum take-off and landing altitude of 14,500 feet, the ARJ21 has good take-off and landing performance and crosswind resistance at plateau airports, and can cover most of the high-altitude airports in China. The ARJ21 fire extinguisher can quickly respond to fire, accurately locate fire areas, and efficiently extinguish fires, taking into account daily aerial monitoring and early warning, as well as commuting. The ARJ21 medical aircraft is equipped with functions such as aeromedical rescue and medical transport, and can be used for patient transport, infectious disease transport and critical first aid. The ARJ21 emergency rescue command aircraft can realize situational awareness, command decision-making, dispatching and disposal of disaster situations, and can be used for airspace command, emergency rescue command and rescue force transportation, and the establishment of temporary communication networks in disaster areas.
