China wants to rival Boeing, Airbus with its C919 'big plane'

http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/travel/2009-10-12-china-planes-c919-boeing_N.htm

BEIJING — For now, China's big entry into the standard passenger jet business is little more than a 20-foot-long model plane on display here at Beijing Expo air show.

But the model — of the planned C919, single-aisle jetliner designed to seat up to 190 passengers — represents something much larger.

 

 

 

A model for China's aviation future

The colourful model of a new passenger jet displayed at the Hong Kong air show was a show-stopping crowd pleaser. Not for its looks - though sleek, it was hardly ground breaking - but for what it represents: a new direction for China's fledgling aerospace industry. Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China (Comac) surprised industry experts at last month's Asian Aerospace show by unveiling details of its large-body C919 jetliner, including plans to have it in the air by 2014.

MiG-29 Shuts Down The Su-33

http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htnavai/articles/20091013.aspx

The reason for dropping the Su-33 is the order from India. It's
cheaper to build 64 (or more, for planned Russian carriers) MiG-29Ks,
than just 16 more Su-33s to replace the ones already on the Kuznetsov
(and wearing out). The MiG-29Ks are lighter and cheaper than the
Su-33s.
