Before that, the C919 has already conducted test flights in various environments. For example, last week it completed an alpine special test flight mission in Hulunbuir at less than -20 degrees Celsius.

The C919 landed at Wuhan Tianhe Airport on December 21, its first test flight at a 4F airport other than its home base at Shanghai Pudong Airport, meaning it is one step closer to airworthiness certificate delivery.

The development of the China-made engine has been scheduled for special certification of the C919, said Liu Daxiang, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, adding that its model, the Changjiang-1000, is being developed by the Aero Engine Corporation of China and has broken through several key technologies.

In addition, Shanghai will also promote the launch of the new SAIC Roewe R series and the start of the second phase of the Tesla project in 2021.
