The fifth prototype of China's large passenger airliner C919 completed its maiden flight in Shanghai on Thursday morning.
The domestically made trunk jet took off at around 10:00 a.m. from Shanghai Pudong International Airport and returned after one hour and 37 minutes.
The prototype is mainly undertaking tests covering temperature tolerance, the environment control system, electricity generation and full-aircraft draining.
The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), the manufacturer, has forged ahead with C919 flight tests in the second half of 2019.
The first four C919s made their maiden flights in May 2017, December 2017, and December 2018 and August 2019 respectively.
Up to now, COMAC has put five C919 aircraft into test flights. The first four aircraft have been tested in different cities of China. Static tests and other ground verification tests are also progressing steadily.
